<Ol' Sarge>what is the best 7mm cartridge and why?
I'd have to say the 7x57.
I've got a .280 and the Rem 7. Neither will do much more than the old war horse.
My next 7 will probably be the STW - I like speed!

<robbnsc>I am really fond of the .280 Remington. I have shot it and the 7mm Rem. Magnum a lot, at a fair amount of game. The .280 will shoot a 150 grain Nosler almost as fast as the 7mm Rem Mag. Game well hit with the 150 Nosler Partition from a .280 do not go far. Plus the caliber is extremely accurate with reasonable recoil.
