Magnum Fever......
With my "once in a lifetime" elk hunt just a month away, it is time for my beatings to begin.
The nature of the country will present shot distances that will test anyones ethical standards. So like most I'm compelled to drag out a magnum that shoots farther than any of us should; in my case my trusty 7mm STW. The old saw about killing on one end and crippling on the other comes to mind.
I have been around the 7stw since it was still a wildcat. I have had mine for maybe 20 years? Anyway, here she is in a lineup with the 7-08 (a very polite round for us older folks), the 25-06 (my favorite round for deer sized critters and fast and accurate), and the 7 stw (80 grains of powder in each shot). Sigh.
First world problems.
