[QUOTE="malcarjeb, post: 347858, member: 5760"] I have had a 7 RM for 20 years now. I'm on my second barrel now. Its a Hart with a 10 twist and it shoots the 180 JLK or Bergers just fine in the 2900 range with excellent groups. I could probably get more velocity out of it but it shoots too good to mess with. At the velocity the RUM will get, a 9.5 or 9.25 twist will work just fine. There are some benchrest shooters getting 2900+ with a .284 Win and 30" barrels. When I rebarreled I almost went with the 7 RUM but I like to shoot too much and was worried about burning it out too quickly. The numbers look good for the RUM but the longest shoot I could have were I hunt is 700 yards and there really is not a huge advantage at that range. I would rather have the barrel life to practice more!! [/QUOTE]
