[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 962274, member: 5219"] I had three 7 RUMs. A Sendaro, a LSS and one I had installed on a Rem 700 using a PT&G reamer. The last one was used for a head to head comparison with a 7 STW both made on Remington takeoffs formerly in 7 Rem mag. Just like the Sendaro and LSS the two comparison barrels were 26" long. I used 168 gr bullets in the STW and RUM. With max safe loads the RUM beat the STW by 50 fps. I concluded that the 7 RUM is best served with a 30" or longer barrel. Other considerations with the 7 RUM: The factory chambering has a very long throat. The round won't fit past the feed rails of model 700s that were not made for a RUM case. Barrel life is fairly short and it has the most recoil. I will say it was easy enough to find accurate loads for all three. Two of my friends bought the Sendaro and LSS and are happy with them. They only shoot them on hunts. I am currently experimenting with a 7mm/375 Ruger and 180s. [/QUOTE]
