    Nice to get the collective knowledge of the group here.
    I like older guns and have two wall hangers. Love to shoot clays and we use a hand thrower and I shoot a Benelli M2. Its fun and I do need some practice. I love hunting, mostly dove and some deer hunting. Don't go to the range much because my 7mm mag punishes at both ends. LOL Its a Browning A-Bolt with a composite stock. I live on the West side now.

    Welcome to the forum sir.
    I moved down here from Maine and brought my Browning Stainless Stalker chambered in 7mm Rem Mag with me. In Maine the gun was a real slayer if the big deer at the longer ranges. My deer load was a Nosler 140gr Partition.
    But down here,with the smaller,thin bodied deer,that weigh 100lbs or so,the bullet blew right thru the deer. I had more deer run down here than I ever did up north.
    Even with the bigger hogs I found the power and penetration unneeded. I tried several different bullets with the same results.
    If you reload for the 7mag you really should slow most bullets waaaay down. To about 7mm-08 velocities.
    YMMV.
    BTW . . . I have shot trap and sporting clays with my Benelli M1 Super 90. A modified choke and my crow loads (1.5oz of #8 shot) smokes 'em. --- SAWMAN

    Welcome to the forum! If you're looking for a range in the future, I highly recommend Escambia River Gun Club
