[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1898525, member: 26077"] I have a 7 RUM with a 28" barrel. More fun than a Barrel of Monkey's. It is way over bore and over board but it is the hottest 7 around. You will pay the price in barrel life. Necking down 300 RUM to 7 RUM is not hard so have no idea why guys say brass is hard to find. The 28 Norma suffers the same short barrel life as the 7 RUM and doesn't yield as good performance in 28 or 30" barrels. The 7 STW, 7-300 Win Mag Practical or even a 7 Rem Mag would be my choice if I was looking for something less over bore with much better barrel life and still very good performance. Basically you are picking between a Ferrari and a Corolla, both get you there it is just about how much fun there is in the getting there. [/QUOTE]
