[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 874203, member: 41124"] I think the best question to ask is how bad do you want your shoulder to hurt and why? In my opinion the 300 RUM is an "ego booster", that's it! I shoot the 180 Bergers and my brother-in-law is shooting the 210's out of his 300 RUM. My gun is a bit heavier, but, compared to another 7RUM, also a Sendero, the 300 kicks ALOT more. The 7mm LRM is the cartridge that I would go with, readily available brass and dies now. The performance you are looking for, and won't beat you up so bad that you may actually shoot it enough to get good with it. Even if you don't want to go "Wildcat" the 7mm RM is great! The bullet can be seated out properly (unlike the 300), which makes a HUGE difference in inherent accuracy, and will give you the performance you are looking for and then some. I would suggest a smaller Leade angle if you can find a reamer with one, but that is just me. The bottom line is you don't need that big of a bullet and unless you just want something to talk about in camp that will make you look good go with the 7mm. Also, your shoulder WILL appreciate it!
