Up where I hunt elk a 210 Scirocco II, or a 185 TTSX, will still be doing just under 2000fps at 500yds. Dead is dead. The 7 mag won't make it more dead. The 7 mag may have an advantage, but so would a 338 Lapua. But are they necessary, no. At lower elevations and/or longer ranges I would need something different than the Fed, until that's the case I'll be happy to hunt with the Fed.
