I pLayed with a couple of 7 mags in my youth. The Rem. was heavy and not any more impressive when compared to the .270 or '06.
My Wby. version was an early Weatherby built Mauser, light, trim, and wore an extra 6/10" of free bore. It could digest huge amounts of powder with no ill effect. The gun was not super accurate, but plenty accurate for deer hunting to out way out there. With a 160, it truly was an impressive killer. Alas, this was in my gun of the month period, although I hunted it for one whole season, so after the season it was traded for something else.
Jack I no longer own any belted cartridges.
