Thanks guys for the votes of confidence; as I have thought long and hard about this decision.
I heardsome "stories" ofdeer running off with two well placedlung shots,never to be found.
One guy I trust/know very well said he lost the bestmulie of his life using his H&R 7MM.
BTW -this guyloves to shoot groung squirrels(aim small, miss small)and is a VERY good shot (andnot a bull****er).
What about that 7MM RM in the new Sako A7 ????
I appreciate it.
Goodness, I kill most deer with a bow, and a very slow one at that, and I am frightened to know there are deer in the woods somewhere that take a a bullet (140gr most likely kicking at 3000fps) thru the vitals and never be found. I have hunted Ky, WV, MD,Oh, Va, Pa, TN, Newfoundland, and others, and glad to know that these indestructable deer, boarand moosedo not live in these states.
Serously, however, there will always be stories. Always. But if anyone hits a deer thru the vitals with a corelok even, there is no excuse not to find them with anything from a 243-30-06 to your more powerful 7mm rem mag.
