<monz>The BEST 7MM!!
The 7x65R, a rimmed super cartridge for a fine european Kipplauf or double.

George SemelI don't know, I have the most hunting experience with the 7 x 57. I also have 4 or 5 in my rack at this time. I have an old 7mm Remington Mag that I owned for close to 40 years now. It was the rifle I took on my first safari back when I was young and would rather hunt that drive a sports car. Of late I been shooting a 7 x 64 in a sako rifle. I like it quite a bit. As for the best, what ever 7mm floats your boat.

For cost-efficiency versus yield (in performance), that's why I had a .280 AI built from scratch. It didn't require an expensive magnum-length action, ballistics were good, and grain-for-grain, it was more efficient than any of the 7mm magnums WITH RESPECT TO WHAT IT WOULD BE USED FOR.

<Don Martin29>I have owned two 7mm Rem mags. One had excessive headspace and on top of that a 1-10 twist. I liked the rifle however and I hunted with it a lot. I feel that the 30/06 has more real effect on game and none of the problems.
I think the introduction of the RUM, SAUM and WSM cartridges is the begining of the end of the belted magnums. Next should be a series on the RUM with a COL of 3.3"
