Interesting poll NitroX. Had me thinking for a while. I could not decide between the 30 06 or the 7mm Rem Mag, so I cheated. Looked at the results. Was not surprised to see the 30 06 in front, but the 7mm Rem Mag’s votes was a disappointment. It is a good caliber, with a little more bite at both ends, compared to the 30 06. Why I don’t shoot a 7mm them? Just 1 reason: more meat damage than the 30 06. I love to hunt for meat too and to guide clients. I load a 165gr bullet @ 2850fps in my 30 06. Just short of the 7mm. But for those that hunt for the trophy more than for the meat, I’d think the 7mm Rem Mag with premium bullets is perfect. A bit more bite just in case and for safety sake.
But then, some months ago I read an article on the 8mm Rem Mag. Not popular in South Africa at all, but on paper it seems like the perfect PH plains gun to me.
But what if, one day, I really need to backup a client in a SHITUATION?…..
Will I ever own enough guns?…..
