[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1268343, member: 4566"] A 3k 195 would scare the living daylights out of me out of a 7RM unless the barrel was 4 ft long lol. 2850 yeah. That being said I just built a 27" 7SAUM running a 175 ELD-X at 3150 with 1 gr under max of H-1000 so WHO KNOWS? I have waffled back and forth from the 22 cal to the 338 over the years and just got off of my 3rd or 4th 6.5 kick last week I'm back on the big 338 again for round 8 or so and yeah it kicks toooooo much (only weighs 12lb I usually build them at 40 lb). BUT if I'm shooting at FUR the 338 just keeps coming back. I fall in love with a 22 or 6mm or 6.5 or 7 or 30 cal for a while and then a deer takes a step at the wrong instant and I'm back on the 338 train again. Now that the 375 is being properly supported by bullet makers I will probably head there next and then cycle back to something smaller when I haven't had to track anything in a while. I think my cycles of bore size all relate to FORGETTING how much of a hassle it is to track a critter and how sorry I feel for one when I have to. If I was just shooting rocks I'd probably run a 7mm-338 Lapua with a 195 and just order a barrel every other month but a 7mmRM would probably make more sense.:) [/QUOTE]
