My riffle is a Browning "A: bolt 7 WSM..... would this be a good caliber to use on Mule deer, Elk ? it has been my whitetail gun in the past in the midwest. How bout bear? good enough "umph" for blackies???
LAST EDITED ON Dec-13-09 AT 09:49AM (MST)[p]If you look at the performance of the 7mm Rem Mag against the 7mm WSM. They are pretty close to the same. The difference I have seen is the overall case length. The 7wsm still burns close to the same amount of powder minus a couple grains of powder and pushes the same grain slugs within a few FPS of the 7mm Rem Mag in some cases and powders the 7wsm is faster. I would say load it with some 168gr slugs and you should be fine for all the animals you want to hunt. I shoot Bergers and love the all around performance I have been getting with them. Good luck and get out HUNTING!

I had a 7WSM win mdl 70, loved the bullet not the gun, went back to a Rem 7mm mag but I just sold the mag and going back to the WSM but a rem this time, I like the compactness of it, and ballistic-ly they're really identical....

Watch Best of The West on one of the hunting channels and John Burns uses a 7MM WSM in 168 grain Berger bullet to take elk at long long range.

By far my favorite gun to shoot over the last couple years. It has killed several deer and elk. I have the Win 70 Classic. 140 grain bullets seem to do the trick. The elk pictured dropped in his tracks at 364 yards on the first shot.
If you can't shoot them good, shoot them alot.
