I definitely recall that Petzal had a really gorgeous classic-stocked 7mm Wby from the custom shop at one time, so it's not like he doesn't like big 7s. Could be that like of lot of us on the wrong side of 60, he doesn't like getting slapped around as much as he used to, or carrying a 10lb rifle when a 7 pounder will do the job.

If he gets paid to stir the pot, I'd say he earned his money this time.


there is a pressure thing, related at long range to some funny impacts on target range. That seems to be fairly common on anything 7mm above say the 284 win or the 7wsm actually had a good 1000 yard or more record, but above those you can get some weirdness at times.

Not enough that it would bother me on average distance and game size targets though.


We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
