[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 703403, member: 47325"] And here comes the 7mag guy :rolleyes: lol There is a velocity advantage to the STW and Weatherby even more with the ultra mag, from (on average) 50 to 150fps respectively in order. The 7RM is still to this day #3 in sales following only the 30-06 and 270, there's a good reason for that. The 7RM has 150fps advantage over the 280. So what does one cartridge offer over the others realistically? The 7mag can do close to a mile maybe more , so can the other mag chamberings. 99% of the shooters out there can't realize the potential of any of the bigger 7s. Knowing what I know now versus what I knew when I bought my 7mag years ago I would still choose the 7RM for one reason alone "barrel life" and that's what it really comes down to for me, 150FPS (2.7 MOA at 1000yrds) that you probably won't even notice once you really learn to drive em, or up to possibly 500rds more barrel life. Which ever you choose be ready though, when that bug bites you you'll have to step up to a lot bigger loudnboomer to really take over where the 7s leave off:D their all that good! that's just my opinion though [/QUOTE]
