I was using my 7mm rem mag for about the first 10 deer I shot and my furtherest shot was 490 meters.
I have shot over 20 deer with my 223, shoulder shots, neck shots and head shots with the longest shot being 340 meters.
I can honestly say all wounds were massive and deer died on the spot, nothing more special about bullet placement than the 7mm and if hit in the shoulder bones were shattered and massive wound.
So the thing for me is I can shoot my 223 that is deadly accurate, has no recoil so its very enjoyable to use and I get the same if not better results.
Taking all this into consideration I can't see the 7mm leaving the gun safe any time soon or into the foreseeable future as there is just no need.
I really don't care what the nay sayers have to say, I'm loving the 223 and anyone else can just use whatever they like.
A big shout out to @Thar for converting me, mate you should be given royalties for every 223 sold![]()
