RE: 7mm rem mag
The 7mm Rem Mag is a great all-around cartridge. Especially out west where long distance shots are more common. Like the others said, it's similar to the 30-06, but it shoots faster and flatter. The recoil isn't bad. I personally prefer it over the 30-06 because of the flatter trajectory. Sure, it can't really do anything that the 30-06 or 270 can't do, but then again the 300 Win Mag can't do anything that the 7mm can't do. Dead is dead.
