This is more of a question I have on the 7mm Remington Magnum.
Those of you that have a Lyman reloading manual, have a look at the criteria for both calibers. Use the 150gr bullet for an example....

What I'm needing to know is this:

Considering the difference in velocity (based on the Lyman Manual), is it really worth the extra 7 to 8gr of propellant for an extra 100 to 200fps? Or, am I not seeing something y'all are.

I have plenty 'o 7mm RM brass, 7mm bullets & a couple new 7mm RM barrels. I've had a hankering for a magnum shooter but just can't seem to justify using all that additional powder for the extra 100 to 200fps.

Consider the usage of the rifle. I shoot target & the occasional animal. Here in Fla. a shot of over 300 to 400yds is not likely. Especially in my area.

SO...
Why would you want the extra recoil & powder usage when the '06 will do it as well, just a snootch slower.

Someone clear up this great mystery of life. Please & thank you.
