I have owned a few, but don't own any now. I always felt kind of silly sitting in a blind or treestand shooting 80-100 lb does or 130-150 lb bucks with a 7 mag at 200 yds or less which is what about 95% of my hunting consists of. It is a great cartridge and really shines if you hunt beanfields, power lines or more open country further west than AL or TN where I hunt. Cartridges like the 7mm-08, 7x57, 300 Savage etc cover all my needs without much recoil or meat damage.


Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
