[QUOTE="freebird63, post: 448866, member: 22102"] About the only cartridge that I see that has the STW beat in downrange velocity and energy is the Lazzeroni and there your going to spend big bones to get the gun and their cases. If you go to best of the west's website they have a chart that shows a comparisson between the 7MM mag and 300RUM and just the 7 Mag has it beat for downrange stuff. I know the best of the west guys really use the heck outta the 7Mag. But I still think the STW is the cats meow. Find a good gunsmith in your area and when you get the gun have it accurized, bedded, floated and get either a timney or jewell trigger. I myself have a jewell and don't regret spending a little extra, they are sweet triggers. Another awesome long range cartridge is the 6.5X284, the benchrest guys are shooting out to 1000 yards with it. I would not have a problem taking an elk with it out to 600 yards. Very little recoil and light gun, excellent for packing around all day in the mountains and never know its there. I like my 300RUM, but if I had it to do all over again I would go 7MM STW all the way and not look back. Good luck [/QUOTE]
