[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 297605, member: 1007"] With both of my 300 RUM's the velocity potential was awesome in the beggining. Once the throats were burned, the friction when up and subsequently so did the pressure. I had to reduce my 180 loads to around 3250 in both of them. My thoughts were that if I am stuck with 3250 with a 180 what the he!! am I using such a big freakin case for? I could easily run that with a 300 wby or sacrifice just a little less velocity and run the 300 WSM. I cant imagine the 7RUM being any better. My vote is for the 7STW. You may be having to run STW velocities some time after your barrel "breaks in". Not saying you will but I have read of two other cases where guys were having trouble with their 7RUM's increasing pressures over time and having to back off to lower loads. [/QUOTE]
