I have been using my Ruger 77 - 7mm Rem Mag since 1973. I have shot several white tail and mule deer with it. I have also shot deer with 223, 243, 6mm Rem, 270, 280, 7mm Mauser, 30-30 and 30-06. The 7mm Rem Mag is by far the flatest shooting and hardest hitting of all of these.

The only time the 7mm Rem Mag didn't drop one in its tracks was when I shot it with a 175 grain round nose bullet. I recommend 150-160 grain bullets on deer sized game.
