Re: Is the 7mm Rem Mag slow and never achieved predictions?

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 ...
