[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 770154, member: 11717"] Don't get me wrong, I'm not second guessing your pick. The 7 RM is a great cartridge, but the 300 RUM is a superior cartridge in comparison. When is shot my my 7 RM at the range with 160's @ 3000 fps, I was done after about a box. Didn't have the greatest recoil coil pad and it gave a pretty good jolt. When I got a 300 WSM, I decided to get a slip on Decelerator recoil pad for range shooting. It worked great and I also used it for my 300 RUM when I got that. I could literally shoot it all day without a brake. My next RUM is getting a brake which I think is essential on any LR rifle to keep on target and it will probably help accuracy. So from that perspective a 300 Rum won't be any more unpleasant to shoot than a 7 RM. I'm not slighting the 7 RM. It can get the job done. The Rum can get it done a little better and a big 338 can do better yet. They are what they are. [/QUOTE]
