a new 7mm rem mag !!
I have 4 7mm I still thing for recoil and all around caliber 7mm is the bestHello, I just got my first magnum, a 7mm Rem Mag Savage 110. It's used, and I bought it for the action. If I can shoot it as is for awhile, that's just a plus.
I'm not seeing as many factory ammo options as I used to, or at least as I seem to remember. There are a lot of "Unavailable, Limited Run" and "Unavailable, No Backorder" on websites. Do you think this is because demand is so high and they can't keep things in stock, or because new cartridges (PRC, 28 Nosler, etc) are starting to replace it? If it matters, I'm looking for ammo in the 150-162 range for my 1:9.5" factory barrel.
Thank you for your feedback. I was leaning towards high demand, but thought it was worth asking. I've never been one to like big magums because I don't like a lot of recoil. I used to have a 30-06 with a hard butt plate that I shot 180 grains out of. I figure shooting 160s with a recoil pad will be about the same recoil (maybe a little less?) but with a lot better ballistics. And because it means I got to get a new gun.
Here is a website that I've used to find ammo with: http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rifle/7mmremmag/Hello, I just got my first magnum, a 7mm Rem Mag Savage 110. It's used, and I bought it for the action. If I can shoot it as is for awhile, that's just a plus.

I believe that all ammos wane after a while. Some much sooner than others with some even eventually fading away. Though I too have noticed what you have stated I personally believe that the seven mm mag will be around for many more years.Hello, I just got my first magnum, a 7mm Rem Mag Savage 110.

Agree with you on the .280. It is a great cartridge and while it has fallen further back into the shadows, at least it is still available.I am a 7mag fan, but have you considered the .280 Remington? It utilizes the .30-06 case, and fires a 7mm bullet. You can hunt long range with it, and it doesn't have the recoil of the 7mag. They say if you don't have a .270, or a .30-06 to buy a .280. that is what I did! I rebarreled my Ruger M77 black synthetic stock 22 inch barrel with a stainless heavy Sporter 25 inch straight fluted Shaw barrel, and I love mine! I know most would have opted for the ai on the rebarrel, bit I have a 7mag, and I love my .280 Remington too!
Install a good quality muzzle break on it, and you can cut the recoil by 50 to 60 percent. I have breaks on all of my magnums.Thank you for your feedback.

The 7 Rem Mag is 'King' of the 7mm's for good reason! With tough heavier bullets it can easily take any North American game. If you only hunt deer-size game, the .243 Win or the 7mm-08 is great for that, with much less recoil. But the 7 RM can handle it all!
