[QUOTE="TomJr, post: 918257, member: 24180"] Love the 7 mm Mag pushing a 168gr Berger around 3000 -3100 fps. Mine is shooting it at 3125 with Retumbo powder. I have killed truck loads of hogs and several deer and three elk with this set up. All bullets were recovered on the offside shoulder just under the hide. Everything I have shot with this gun is dead right there. Ranges from 100 yards to 769 yards on a big bore hog. Elk were anywhere from 200 yards to 450 yards. Deer were at 50 yards to 650 yards. I really love the 7's so much I just had a 284 win built for hunting that I think I can push the 168's to around 2950 without having to use R17 to do it. I know I can push them over 3K with R17 but temp change will give you fits. Just broke the barrel in on the new 284 and starting load work up for it. Things look promising. Need some nicer weather around here snow has been on now for a week and supposed to get another storm tomorrow. Again I dont think you can go wrong with a 7 just pick the right bullet for the job. So far I cannot say anything bad about the Bergers. They are a wonderful bullet with excellent support from the makers. [/QUOTE]
