[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 415373, member: 10654"] 7 RUM is a great round, but barrel life will suck. If you want a good 7mm caliber look at the 7 RSAUM, 7RM or 7 STW in that order for barrel life .As far as 338's go with the 338 RUM or EDGE. Better barrel life and shooting those 300gr SMK's are just plain *** fun. For elk the 338 RUM in a 26" barrel for a carry rifle , or a light weight 28" EDGE in the 12 1/2# range with optics would be about my max, shooting the 300gr SMK. As I also agree, factory ammo in a pinch is not really an option for LR hunting. [/QUOTE]
