elkhunternm,
God only knows how many of all North American big game were killed with a 7X57.
A 160 grain .284 Partiton at 2800 FPS will kill anything in North America.
I learned this far to late: it ain't ow fast a bullet goes, it's where a bullet goes.
When I began hunting, my hunting friend who's now in Heaven used to tell me that the MM in 7MM Rem Mag stood for might miss, the point being that velocity is useless if a bullet does go where it needs to be.
