[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 2122039, member: 20355"] Well, I suppose I'll resurrect this dinosaur. I'm about half way through my 2nd barrel on my 7mm Rem Mag and I'm considering a switch to the 7LRM for the 3rd barrel. HOWEVER, it's very hard to justify, considering what both of these barrels have been able to produce. I've been running HBN Coated 180 Hybrids at 3105 on both barrels. Both 24" with RL33. Stupid accuracy...and lately ive tested 190 Atips at about 3045. A full grain spread testing pressure yielded right at .5 MOA so as soon as weather turns...I want to fine tune a load and send them out to 2400yds to confirm data for a buddy at Hornady. THAT SAID, even 4gr more capacity and a better case design has me wondering if I should switch to the LRM when accuracy takes a dump. Thoughts? With modern powders like RL33 since this post was started...many things have changed, including the popularity of the LRM (has gone down in my opinion) Where does one go to for LRM brass these days? I've had remarkable success with Nosler brass in my rifle, and even in todays market, it's relatively easy to find and not overly expensive.
