After a few years of shooting a 7mm mag,i found the recoil sucks and the damage to the meat not worth the extra yards of shot distance.These days i shoot a 7mm-08 remington in 140gr.This is a great cal.for deer down to yotes.The Recoil is 1/3 of the bigger cals.but the distance u can be deadly at is out to 300+.I have yet tracked a deer more than 75 yards and no meat loss..If u are thinking of bringing a young hunter into the sport,try the 7mm-08 in 100gr.no recoil...
