NTG,
I have a 7MM Rem Mag. It is all that and more. It is the most accurate rifle I have ever fired. However, were I given a do-over, I'd buy only one rifle: a .280 Rem & spend the rest on hunting.
I used to think that faster was better. But now I'm all about accuracy. A .284 caliber bullet doesn't have to travel at mach 5 to be effective.
Bell killed nigh on a thousand elephants using a 7X57.
It ain't so much as what launches a .284 caliber bullet as it is that a .284 caliber bullet is launched.
