I don't understand the belt hatred... Nothing but love for the 7 mag. Also, RL 17 will get a 140 grain & 7 mag into the 3300 range.. Still very interested in this new 26. Using Johns formula.... 100 grain would be pushing 3,900. 100 gr TTSX = antelopes worst nightmare.
No hatred, but would rather not have one all things being equal.
I've owned a 7 magnum for many years. Good rifle.
What I don't get is guys looking to push bullets over 3700 fps.
Does anyone know how they perform when going mach 5 and hit something?
It's interesting, but just wonder if they've been tested at those speeds and were designed for that velocity.
Would undoubtedly need to use a mono-metal bullet.
