Thread: why using so big guns??

I use a 7mm mag for the ballistic co efficient factor. With a lightweight scope and chassis to suit my type of hunting, which is open tops with a lot of climbing and long walks in. It’s always windy and most shots are over 300m across valleys so I want something that bucks wind really well. I want to shoot to 600,700m and with a 7mm mag I can get that with 12moa of adjustment in my scope. A bit of a balancing act but it works well for me and I’m finding less damage to meat than with my 270 or even when my dad shot with a 243 and hit bone back in the day so I don’t feel over gunned at all
