I know it’s good clean fun for guys here to bash the 270 round, but when I’m out west hunting elk (Every place I’ve hunted!) they bash the 7mm Mag like no other round. I thought that was odd. Lots of places out there even give the 270 a pass.....definitely not so with the 7 mag. It seems to be limited only to elk hunts...it stood out enough to me that it was indeed noticeable.

I personally don’t see either round as a limiting factor providing it’s used as intended...ie, no 800 yard raking shots, etc. If you bust that oil pump, it’s going down.


You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
