Yeah gotta agree with the others the problem isn't the cartridge and likely not the bullet either,it lies elsewhere
. I have taken plenty of game(antelope to moose)with the 7mm rem mag and variety of bullets ranging from 140-175gr,it has neverposed a problem (including shoulder shots of close and long range). You need to hit the rangefor somepractice, sight in and always verify POI prior to the hunt.
"not where I aimed but thats where it wanted to go" comment -
Bullets do nothave a mind of their own! I Gotta ask if you never recover the animal how do you know what you hit??
whitetaildreamer you mean to say you've got 6000 plus rounds through the original tube?? If so WOW, I rebarreled atless than3000 due to throat erosion and loss of accuracy.
