I've always liked the 7MM mag, but don't own one right now. That being said, I have run into a definite bias against the round literally every place I've hunted out west. Seems everyone out there has a "lost too many elk (or mule deer, pronghorn, etc)" story regarding the 7mag. Might just be a statistical thing...since there are so many out west, then that would leave one to believe that if an animal was wounded and possibly got away, then statistically, more might be from that round. I don't know...but the bias against that round is very real in the circles I travel out there.
Interesting...........
I wonder what the experienced 7x57 users would think?
Oh there are plenty out here that believe the 7RM "shoots too fast to expand"..Mostly comes from cowboys that try to guide..And if you listen to them long enough you'll hear all kinds of dumbfuqery regarding shooting,bullets,trajectory and just hunting in general..Most of them love the 30-30 tho.
Old wives tales die hard.
