[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 385868, member: 10178"] It has been my experience with the 7mm Mag that for inside 100 yard shots it is best to slow the bullet down. The 140 to 150 gr bullets seem to kill deer in their tracks better if they start out in the 2800 to 2900 fps muzzle velocity range. For some reason when, for me, the bullets are going over 3000 fps the deer want to run off around 100 yards even though you have pulped their lungs and heart. My buddy has had the same results. This observation has been gathered from over 50 deer kills. I got rid of my 7 mag and went back to the 25-06. You don't have to trail them up with it. Bang Flop. [/QUOTE]
