LOL! All my knowledge is based on experience and from the cannon and black and blue marks... I don't waiver a bit when I say that... not at all. In fact, I emphasize cannon when it refers to killing a 165lb. live weight Alabama buck! There's no need for such a large caliber. !!!

In fact, you haven't read one of my earlier posts where a buddy, navy seal, got done sighting in his 30-06, and in only 12 shots, sustained some nice BLACK & BLUE marks... and that's where my EXPERIENCE with that comes from! Also no one need to quote ballistics and felt recoil to me, I know them, just as much as others.

Someone want to bench with me, their 7mm Rem Mag -vs- my .260/.308 at 900 yards, let's ROCK!

30+ years around rifles, a guy does get experience!

"Why don't you quote the average live weight of a N. CA. buck at least 3 1/2 yrs. or older? Bet it's not 165lbs!"

Also I QUESTION YOUR experience when you say the 7mm mag or .270 has same recoil as the -06, because that isn't true! LOL! Maybe if you manipulate bullet weights to fit that bill, but equal bullet weights will NOT get you equal felt recoil.

I haven't even delved down into the many characters I see wielding a magnum caliber on the range and couldn't do a 2" group to save their life! Hmm? I wonder why?

Just because you like the 7mm, doesn't mean everyone else is going to.
