I remember when Remington first introduced the 7 Mag. There was an ad in Outdoor Life magazine. . . . "shoots as flat as a .270 and hits as hard as a 30/06". I don't think they overstated their product.
I belive they would say that just so that this cartrige(7mag) would get popular fast?
and i agree with fastshootingcarts with this statement he said a while back I believe the round (7mm mag) came about because hunters wanted a round more powerful than the .30-06 and with not much more recoil.
