[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 366908, member: 20646"] I agree with Kiwi Nate on the 7mm Rem with a long-ish barrel. I've been processing the info on a hot 7mm, but i really like to shoot and those super-hot chamberings simply can't last as long as their slower brethren. I initially thought about going with a 300 Win mag (i have a fair bit of experience with it), but in the end decided to initially go back to the 7mm Rem for smaller to mid-size game and a 338 Edge for big stuff (at long-range that is). There have been threads and alot of info how to prolong the barrel on RUM type chamberings. However, almost all concede the point that no matter what these super-hot loadings simply do not allow for long barrel life (upwards of 2000-3000 rounds). A notable 'smith who posts here alot has mentioned that it's nearly impossible to predict how much life a barrel will have so.....fyi. [/QUOTE]
