I can put 3 shots almost touching w/ that 7mm. BTW, that IS my Colorado gun...That's why I own it. My wife shoots it, and before (smart move here...key word...before...) I got married, I purchased a Browning 300 Win mag Stainless Stalker. Yup...I bought into the "must have magnum to kill elk" philosophy. Not that it's a bad idea though. I'll probably buy another one when my kids get bigger and I get to go elk hunting again. It's just these little South Texas Deer don't need a mag to kill em. The 224 is plenty gun to get the job done...well, and they are legal in TX...
