[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1215908, member: 12995"] Actually, these days, the 7mm is almost on par with the .30 cal in bullet selection. And the .300WM is not really a step up over the 7mmRM, even though most will tell you that. They are both exceptional and well-proven cartridges. And despite case capacity and case size, when compared (data proven, BTW) equal weight-for-caliber bullets in a 7mmRM vs. a .300WM, they are ****-near equal. It is basically a wash at that point...Do you want 7mm or do you want .30...That is basically what it comes down to. Now, do you want something faster & flatter? Or do you want something larger in diameter, and more powder? The 7mmRM will take any game on the American continent. Since you are a 7mm fan, the 7mm STW or .28 Nosler might be something to give you a step-up pushing the new Berger 195's with a good 1:8 twist heavy barrel in the 28-30" range. Or if you want something larger in diameter and larger in case capacity, you could step up to a .300 Weatherby. Do you have any smaller & faster cartridges? Those are always fun. Example, .22-250 Rem, .243 Win., .25-06, and .257 Weatherby. If you want big and bad... Just go ahead and buy a Noreen ULR in .408 Cheytac or .416 Barrett or .50 BMG, or have a custom built in .375 Cheytac. [/QUOTE]
