Ive been looking at some ballistic charts to figure out what caliber rifle tobuy to replace my deer rifle that i sold this past year. I had my eye on the ole stand by .270 winchester but considered 30-06 as well as 7mm-08. I know that the 7mm Ultra Mag must be intended for larger game but i couldnt help but be very impressed with the speed that it obtains. I would imagine that the ultra mag would pack a pretty tuff punch but was hoping to get some info from someone with experience in this caliber to confirm my thoughts, so any advice or opinion is appreciated!
