I live in one of the few remaining rifle counties in MD, I just don't see a need for a 7mm Mag in this region. I also hunt northern WV and have used a .270 Win for years, that is more than enough in my opinion. Maybe considering the population growth in this area there are folks moving here from other regions that would justify a 7mm Mag, once they get here and see it is either not allowed or required they trade them in. Just a guess. . . . ?
