    I do that with my 243. Take 6-10 rounds of the lightest varmint bullet I can, ie 6mm x 55 or 58 gr Vmax etc over trail boss. depending upon how much powder I stuff in that gives me 1500-2300 fps, ...

    other question would be, Why do you feel you need a 7mm rem mag as a carry rifle? OK if you expect to be shooting past 400 mtr regularly then fine but to me that's not a job for a light carry/back...
