I wish I had a .280, then I wouldn't have to worry about my 7mm not being able to kill things..
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Some of the greatest global big game hunters to ever walk the planet have chosen the 7mm magnum as their primary big game round. For everything including Brown Bear in North America, all huntable species of sheep, all non dangerous African game. Quite a few Weatherby Award winners have chosen it. It has been used very successfully on every continent, in all of the worlds great game fields. It was the favorite of Bert Klineberger, the greatest world class outfitter in the history of big game hunting, who has killed more game than anyone on this board. Some of the the nonsense you read here is unbelieveable.
P.S--I don't know of any Weatherby Award winners who used the 338 magnum or 30-06 as their primary big game rifle. Neither round is a favorite in the big leagues of global trophy hunting. That's not my opinion, that's just the facts.

You're right about the 7 Rem Mag;and Bert Klineberger as well.
Other international BG hunters who used it included George Hoffman,the Texas hunter and African pro who sort of "invented" the 416 Remington (a/k/a wildcat 416 Hoffman); he thought the 7 Rem Mag about ideal for African plains game because people could shoot it well,unlike the 338,which many couldn't.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Funny you guy's should mention that. I shared a hunting camp in Namibia this year with Gary Ingersoll, a Weatherby, as well as Conklin Award winner. His caliber of choice for most of his hunting was the 7mm mag.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

You get 'em, Tanner. Give 'em something they'll never forget and make it hurt! There's an old bad joke along that line: I met a gal who liked it rough. "Give me twelve inches and make it hurt" she said. So I screwed her twice and hit her with a brick.

One mans opinion on the 7mm mag.ask other hunters with his experience and as others have already posted you'll get a different answer.Alot of hunters like the 7mm mag.it didn't get a good reputation because you have to "hit em again"

I have used the 7mm rem mag and it's clone (7mm WSM)on just about every thing. Never lost an animal, never tracked one more than 30 feet.
