I have NEVER seen ANY game animal killed TO DEAD!!! Trailer' s example is' nt fair btw. The Gameking while a great bullet, is' nt indicative of the 7s overall performance on big game. Were that a Xbullet, FailSafe, Trophy Bonded or similar bullet, that bullet would' ve exited the other end of that deer and perhaps would' ve dropped him in his tracks. I' ve driven deer length-wise at up too 200 yards with 140 and 150 grain bullets of aforementioned design from my 7mag and NONE of them went anywhere but straight to the ground.

While I have several rifles and one much more powerful than my 7mag, I will go to my grave arguing the merits of the " plain ole 7mag" . It will kill ANYTHING inside of 300yds (and yes 400 yds if you spend enough time on the range with it!), is easily managable, is economical to shoot compared to most magnums and will do anything most calibers between a 22-250 too a 338 Mag will do given proper bullet selection and proper bullet placement.

I shoot other guns because I choose too, were I relegated strictly to my 7mag I doubt I would kill that many less heads of game per year!
