When I bought my first big game rifle, I went with 7rem mag because that's what my father used and I subsequently started out using. I knew it worked and I was comfortable with it. I still use it for most of my hunting, but I've vastly expanded the cartridge availability in my safe since then. It still works great, but it's fun to wandering around with a Ruger no.1 in 35 Whelen for ****s and giggles.
