    The 7mm Rem Mag ought to be like the SS Commodore V8

    never classics dont go away they simply increase in value as are the SS commodores ( good ones ) in saying that I would probably go 300WSM before a 7mmrem mag

    A VW bug with the engine swapped would smoke the heavy holden... same thing happens when you chamber a 223 with modern, heavy bullets in mind.

    Haha.
    You 223 guys have whipped the vegans for persistence and are now sounding like the godbothers who turn up on the doorstep and don't take hints that their time would be better spent on someone else's doorstep.
    Overkill is still dead.

    Oh God I have no hope, I own a .223 a 6.5 creedmoor and a 7mm Rem Mag.

    I Obviously need to sell off the lot and buy PRC,s and RUM,s etc (if I believe in social media and shooting forums)

    I have a 223. Except it's only a slow twist. Does that make me a vegetarian, not a vegan

    Hope not, I won't be changing anytime soon.

    Plenty of room in the magazine to hang them out long/heavy.

    Shooting the 162s over 2900fps from a slightly shorter than factory barrel. Plenty of spice, heck 3000 fps with something heavier would kick more than a rodeo bronc
