7 mag and the 300 mag are awsome calibers and I wouldnt dream of trying to compare them to a .243
My point was that the .243 is just as capable of killing as a 30-06 or .270. and it just erks me when someone says "Get a real gun like a 30-06" Puhlease! Just wanted to show how a .243 surpasses a 30-06 at long ranges. Pretty good for a gun that has no umphh huh ? LOL.
