Exactly!

Over the years I kept hearing about how one of the advantages of the 7mm was the vast selection of bullets available in .284" diameter.

Well, I finally heard it once too often, so sat down with my latest Midway catalog and counted all the different weights and styles of bullets available in .270, 7mm and .30 caliber.
Turned out there were 130+ .270 bullets available, around 150 in 7mm, and slightly more in .30.

My take is that if you can't find a .270 or .30 bullet to do exactly the job at hand that you're probably going to be dissatisfied with the 7mm selection as well.
