I've been offered the opportunity to trade into a Ruger No. 1, but I don't know much about them. I can't find any other No. 1s in 7 Mag. Were they just really unpopular?
I agree. It's a nice flat shooter out past 300 yds if you need that sort of thing. Probably the most popular magnum rifle cartridge on the planet. There for those who want to master it.QUOTE: "...A 7 mm mag can't do anything a 308 can't..."
In terms of "killing power", I'd have to agree-but you can say that about most any cartridge comparison. But when it comes to ballistics (velocity, energy, trajectory, etc.), the 7mm Magnum is a superior cartridge when compared to the .308-and I say that as a devoted .308 Winchester "fan". Facts are facts; whether they mean anything in terms of "practicality" in the field or not.
