For Deer hunting and target shooting, is a 7mm Rem. Mag suitable for a 14 year old?
Q. I am also concerned about the recoil of the caliber. Would an average build, semi-experienced 14 year old boy be able to control the recoil and be able to comfortably shoot a 7mm Remington Magnum in a Remington Model 700 SPS Stainless. 30-06 is also an option, so please list in the answer whether you think this is a better caliber than the 7mm mag.

A. I had answered your question on the 300 Win Mag. I have owned the 7mm Rem Mag and the recoil is about the same as the 300 Win Mag to me. If you must get a belted magnum for this teenager - they need two rifles. One like a 243 Win or 223 to learn actual marksmanship skills... and the heavier rifle for dangerous game. Because anything bigger than a 243 Win is going to be tough for a young shooter to learn any skills on. The cost of ammo is going to make any range time expensive for 30-06 or bigger cartridges (30-06 is $25 box of 20, 223 is $6.99 box 20). The noise and recoil are going interfer with the learning.

A.

If anything serious happens,it is cheaper to toss the rifle than have a gunsmith work on-it has press fit action-barrel assembly. In the same price range the Marlin XL7 is a decent economic rifle,nothing fancy but that goes with the territory-at least the bolt is workable and there are some good manufacturing steps involved. The Mossberg ATR has gotten a slight rework, with new trigger (similar to the Savage Accu-Trigger), and it is better than the 770,but I'm not happy with the poor rear bridge support for the bolt-that… [cont.]

A. Compared to the usual 24 barrel, you will lose approximately 100fps wilth most factory ammo. I'm surprised to see anyone having produced a magnum with the shorter barrel length, given the added muzzle blast as well as reduced velocity, especially since the dismal failure of the otherwise fine .264 WinMag in the Model 70 Featherweight, a couple of generations ago. Given that much factory loaded 7mag falls short of advertised specs, what you most likely have there, for all practical purposes, is a very loud .280. So handloading is a great idea. Most magnum loads call for slow-burning powders, which presume a longer barrel to burn completely and efficiently, so you will need to find a comparitively fast burning powder to maximise the efficacy… [cont.]

A. Please let's use the correct terminology. What you have is a cartridge, not a bullet. Your cartridge was made by Winchester. If you want to make it into a dummy cartridge and mount it this is what you need to do. 1. Remove the bullet. That is the part that leaves the gun at high speed and goes down range.The best method is with a kinetic bullet puller. It looks like a hammer, it is hollow with a device to grab the extraction grove on the case. You then hit the face of the extractor on a hard surface to pull out the bullet. You can pull the bullet using a pair of pliers, but the bullet will be scarred and there is a slight chance of harm coming to you. 2 Once you have the bullet out, remove the gun powder. This will pour out of the case.… [cont.]

Winchester Supreme has the E-Tip and XP3 Just my opinion but I don't much like light to medium weight plain cup & core bullets in the small and/or fast magnums. For any game animal larger or tougher then deer at least the HEAVY conventional bullets or good premium designs are a better choice.

You hit them in the shoulder you're about going to rip it right off it's torso --- same with a lot of centerfires though. It does a little more damage.

A. Winchester makes pretty nice rifles. From what I found; and it depends on the condition; the rifle you mentioned would probably be worth $700-$800. Check out this website to compare what you have to what others are selling. It would seem to me that if yours is in better condition, it would be worth closer to $800. Average condition, maybe around $600.

A. 7mm Remington Magnum is very popular, so you shouldn't worry too much about availability. Recoil is of course more than with smaller cartridges like the 7mm08 and less than 300 Winchester Magnum, moderate but to some unpleasant. It's a good choice if you're in mountains where hunting ranges tend to stretch across canyons, as for sheep, and it's not unreasonable for less extreme hunting. I know one man who bought his for sheep but uses it for short-range hogs and whitetails, as well as elk. That's pretty versatile. The 7mm08 is a 308 Winchester necked down to 284. It was developed to knock down the metallic rams way out there, but has become a very popular deer cartridge, being very close to 7x57 Mauser in ballistics. Many gun writers (and… [cont.]

Q. Is this ammo easy to find? Or will I have to go to many different stores to find some? And what is the recoil like and what is its best purpose? Also, what about the 7mm-08 rem?

what is better for 1000 yards 308. or 7mm mag?
Q. I am having a barrel made for my 98 mauser and haven't decided what to have it chambered in. I need to be able to shoot 1000 yards. thanks. I have more than 1 mauser and am not wasting a good one so no worries ww2 collectors. and I punch paper I don't hunt (no where to hunt and no time to go out of state) thanks. oh and I do reload

A. The 7mm will have more velocity and energy at 1000 yards but it is alot more expensive to shoot. The U.S. Military uses .308 in their sniper rifles because it is a NATO cartridge and reduces the logistics problems of having another cartridge just for snipers. If you want an inexpensive cartridge that will be adequate for most situations, the .308 is the way to go, but if you want a much more powerful round, and don't mind the price, go for the 7mm magnum. Its more of a personal choice.

starting to handload this year, what do you guys think of the barnes tsx for the 7mm rem mag?
Q. I'm looking to put the 150 gr. round 3,250 fps for deer and bear. Will the light round penatrate just as well as a lead core 160 gr. ?

A. Yes it will. In fact it may penetrate even further. You will need Barnes bullets reloading Data. Solid copper bullets tend to generate higher pressures than there lead core counterparts. Also use there guide to select the proper bullet for the game you are hunting.

7mm Mag rifle- Low recoil rounds Help?
Q. I hunt with a 7mm mag rifle. If I use low recoil bullets (which only seem to have about half the gunpowder.) Will this effect my shot at all? especially long range? Any info on low-recoil rounds useful. Thanks

A. Actually, you'd be surprised how little the difference is in the amount of propellant. Of course, it's going to be slower with the same bullet weight than a full charge, so it won't shoot as flat. Maybe not now, but one of these days you ought to get into handloading. It's quite an education. Once you get to a certain point, cartridges need about 10% more propellant for 2% more velocity, and the whole "efficiency" argument becomes starkly clear on your chronograph. And those of us who do it wouldn't be caught dead looking at the works of fiction that go under the heading of "ballistics tables." If you aren't ready to start handloading, I'd encourage you at least to start chronographing your loads and shooting enough to develop your own,… [cont.]
