One would have to be clueless tojudge the penetration capabilitiesof thetwo cartridgesbased on the chart posted.Look at the bullets that offered the best penetration for the 30-06,namely the failsafe and barnes x.Now look at the bullets tested in the 7mm remmag.Do you see those same bullets tested in ther 7mmremmag?No you don't although they are available.Since the same bullets were not used the comparison is useless.

Wrong. The 150 swift scirocco was used in the 7-08 and 7 mag. The 7-08 had more penetration. Its nothing new, slower impact velocity's usually result in deeper penetration.
The 7 mag will never get 26" of penetration as did the -06 I dont care what bullet you pick. You could handload a 7 mag to lower velocity's to get more penetration.
Most people here judge a caliber by the size of the case. which is funny.
Its a known fact, bullets at higher velocity's equall less penetration.
The 6.5 is known for penetration, Its a High SD bullet, coupled with slower velocity's equall deeeeeep penetration. the 7 mag is a long range deer gun, in my opinion. Will it kill a moose ? Of course it will, and the moose wouldnt know the difference if it was an -06 or a 7 mag. will it penetrate a moose from end to end, not hardly.
Thats all i'm saying. the 7 mag is a small bore magnum, it's not a big bore, just because it has a big shell doesnt make it a big and dangerous game rifle. It's not a deep penetrater. Its high velocity makes it that way.
