On the 7mm front, I only have a 7x65R. The 7x64 was once reported as the most popular German hunting cartridge. (?). I used one tonshoot a Norwegian moose. A very useful cartridge. The 7x65R is the break open equivalent. The Americans tried to copy it with a .280 of somecwannabe name. The obsolete dead old finished excellent 7x57 is making a comeback. While it's "superior" replacement the 7mm/08 is truly dead and being forgotten. I like the 7mm Rem Mag as almost vintage. I shot a 7mm STW once at some rois on permit 600 yards away, pushing a bullet at 4000 fps. I missed. I've always liked the obscure 7mm SEvH vintage cartridges. But I shoot my .39-06 at game more than anything else. . Excluding small game. If new powders are so good, maybe I need to revist loads ... Ha ha, as if ... Not until my powders run out ... |
