I've been using a 7mm RM on and off formore then a fewyears now. It's a great cartridge.When I know there could or willbe a long distance shot that's my go to gun.The 7mm mag will handle anygame animal on this continent.Thereare other cartridgesas we know that will do just as well . Bottom line the 7mm mag is here to stay.It's a very popular catridge in my hunting club.
