Yepper and that's why I like the 7-08,308 and such for woods or short fields.If im hunting fields around woods and might be able to take a shot at 300 or more,i pick up the 7mag,6.5mag or whatever that I know will hit what im pointing at.Well,all of us miss because the 257mag damn sure didn't kill the 13 point I fired upon last year at 500 something.That was me and the rifle hit a 12 pack pop box shortly after I MISSED.Fast and flat is what I like for certain things.
