I don't see anyone buying them anymore. It's still a great round, IMO, but the blush is off the bloom. The 270 seems to still be strong.

I just picked up a Ruger All weather in 7mm rem mag. Just zeroed it the other day. Tack driver and a pleasure to shoot. A 7mm RUM just about broke me on Magnums. still have the scar to remind me!!!!!!!!

Too Boringly effective. Much like the 308, 300win mag or 338

I'm seeing a turn around. LOTS of LR guys went out and bought ultra's,STW's and the like, but are coming back to the 7RM.
The 7 Rem mags potential is only limited by the shooter.

I really like my 7mm. Exceptionally accurate at all ranges. Plenty of power for anything I hunt in NA..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The 7 Rem Mag shoots 30'06 bullet weights at 270 velocities and trajectories.......way too boring.
and a cartridge that shoots all weights 100fps faster than the internet darling 280 Ackley can't be all bad.
I have a 280, a 280AI and two 7 Mags and there's a 100fps between all of them.

The 7 Rem Mag shoots 30'06 bullet weights at 270 velocities and trajectories. Where'd you get that totally incorrect idea. Never yet known a 7 Mag to shoot a 220 gr bullet at any velocity. Now a 180 might be a go.

Lots of choices around now, better powders and bullets. Heck bet the 7X61 Sharpe's should get a revisit. Looney thing, choices, choices.

It's become popular with the unknowing to bad mouth belted cases and what can be done with them. So those of us who have 7's and 300's just don't bother to talk about them much, just let the guns chambered for them do the talking come Oct and November. Really, you know I wouldn't BS you. Magnum Man

What happened? Scenar came out with the 180 that works quite well in 8.5 and 9 twists.
