If a race had been held to see which 
cartridge had become successful the fastest, the 
7mm Remington Magnum would probably win hands 
down.  Born of the "magnum mania" of the early 
60's, it's popularity has been consistently high 
virtually since it's introduction in 1962.

    The cartridge is short enough to be utilized 
in actions suitable to the .30-06.  Remington has 
often been unable to meet the demand for Model 
700's in 7mm Mag, and it is an extremely popular 
chambering in other makes, almost certain to be 
found in any action series that handles rounds of 
magnum-sized width.

The cartridge is not for beginners.  Factory 150-
grain jacketed bullets leave the muzzle at 3110
fps, with 3221 ft-lbs. of energy to recoil with!

    In ballistic terms, the cartridge is 
exceptional.  To quote the NRA Handloading 
Manual...

      "...case capacity and bore diameter 
      seem to represent a very favorable 
      balance between piezometric and 
      thermodynamic efficiency..."

Remember to just "throw that out" next weekend at
the range.
