Y’all are way overthinking this for North GA whitetails. I lived right “next door” to the OP. A big buck up there might will dress out at 125 for the most part…or smaller.

Ballistic Tip, Corelokt, SST, etc will kill the biggest buck that ever walked up there. Actually, no real need to 7mag calibers if you study it carefully. But when I lived up there, there were plenty of em….300 mags too. No idea why.


I’ll assume the OP will be traveling to KS or something along those lines. Hence, him wanting to build a 7mm.

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