I'd have to agree along similar lines with FB404 on this. Growing up in the Rocky Mountains, most every elk hunter I ever saw with a 7mm mag was a shoot one box a year, let's go hunting type who felt they were holding God in their hands. That experience left a very bad taste in my mouth. The serious hunters typically carried the .30 or .338 calibers. I would surmise 7mm mag is a good round for deer and antelope at further range. For the heavier stuff, like bear and elk, I think it runs out of cross section real quick.
