I had the same "magnumitus" once! I bought the 7MM RM and I do love it! Its accurate, powerful, flat shooting and recoil is very manageable too! But after getting over "magnumitus," I'm going down to the .243!. Its almost as flat shooting as the 7MM RM, and no Whitetail gets killed any deader! But........ one can never have too many guns! Good luck!
