If I do my part and use bullet that isn't too tough tracking is a moot point. I have dealt enough death with 7mm bullets via a 280 rem and a 7mm Weatherby to know they work and work very well. I even shot a moose with a single, well placed 140gr TBBC out of a .280 and it didnt go more than three steps.
Conversely if I flub a shot, its going to be a goat [bleep] whether I have a 300 mag or a 7mm mag.

I should start by saying that I was never a fan of the 7MM RM. Then I acquired one that my Dad won in a raffle for $20, standard Remington BDL. I figured since I always hated the 7 RM, I'd prove to myself why.

I took it out the first time and it shot 1-1.25 inch groups with factory 150's. I then started loading for it and I'll be damned if that thing didnt start shooting consistently less than 1 inch with 160 partitions and IMR 4831. Just this last year, the 160 accubonds replaced the partitions and IMO, they perform every bit as good as partitions and shoot a pinchy better on paper.

For the last 7-8 years I've scarcely used anything else...and this coming from a hard-core 338 guy. My 338 has collected more dust than game since I started using the 7 RM.

I dont have a total on the number of animals I've shot with it, but its more than enough to know it works, and works well.

I'm also trying to recall the number of animals I had to "hit again" with it...3 elk and one moose. Of those, no second shot was likely required, but I error on the side of ammo being about the cheapest part of the whole hunting equation. All 4 of those animals were shot the second time within a few feet of where they were hit initially.

This whole BS about the bullets not exiting and giving a blood trail is also not what I've experienced. On the rare occassions that I've had to track an animal with the 7RM, blood trails have been akin to something stevie wonder could follow. I also dont have much of a bullet collection recovered from animals...cant seem to keep them from exiting.

Its also funny to note that the OP in this thread has never mentioned owning a 7RM...much less using one for any hunting.

Thats a joke, right from the start.

You obviously have not seen the impressive tarps that ol' logcutter has taken.

I'm impressed, cookiecutter has gone this whole thread without wanting to wrassle anyone.

Hopefully my crapper shot stays out of the thread.

Just because Logcutter is a supreme moron is know reason to dislike his sorry ass. The fact that he hasn't shot or much less hunted a big game animal in say, the last 20 years is pretty funny.


After one of LC's hunting sermons this past Winter didn't Greenhorn mention that his kid would shoot a bigger elk than LC?

Of course LC tripped over a stick and hurt himself a week or two ago so he won't be able to hunt this Fall. You honestly can't make this chit up.
Maybe we'll get a pic of some people he no's and maybe even a tarp shot!


Cue the chitter shot.......

As Stick would say it's the only move the dumbphuck has left.

No offense Tanner but for a college kid you sure do post a lot....I think you should be heavily involved in less noble pursuits...for the most dangerous game... wink


Make us proud.....

Tanner be careful..... According to Logcutter do not pass out if Blackheart is around and on the prowl. Not unless you're into sneaky manlove.

He will literally tear you a knew one!

It's not even 9 bro. Give me 2 hours and I'll be dancing with a random bimbo on a trashy ass dance floor to rap music... Alcohol definitely will not be involved.

It's called a schedule sir.

As long as you demonstrate self-discipline and stick to your schedule.

When I was in college one of my personal rules was to NEVER study past 11:00pm.
I stuck to it too...

or as logcutter would say..I stuck two it to. You no how it goes.....
