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.
