[QUOTE="7Rum Slayer, post: 1898566, member: 113894"] I purchased my 7Rum in the year 2000, it was the first rifle off the press at remingtons custom shop called the Alaskan wilderness rifle. It had a sporter barrel and a custom McMillan stock and shot lights out with the factory 140 partitions. I fired 100 of those and started reloading the 154 interbond. It would easily shoot 1/2 moa at a velocity of 3475. I have long range Blacktail and mule deer kills with that combo out to 991 yards. I shot that barrel out in around 700 rounds. Fast forward years later went with a Hart barrel and Berger 180's at a velocity of around 3280, very accurate and lethal. I am now on my third barrel this time a Bartlein at 27 inch and its shooting the 155 Hammer Hunters very accurate. What I would recommend for loading is keep the case fill up meaning choose a powder that fills the case at least 90%. Retumbo has been great for me. Also they like the heavy long bullets near max load. I treat mine like a high performance race car not a daily driver. I have a safe full of rifles and this one is the one I always take hunting. Knocks the daylights out of anything it hits! If your into the high performance calibers then go for it, but barrel life is an issue. I have no experience with the 28 Nosler but I'm sure its not far behind the Rum. Cheers and happy shooting, Jason [/QUOTE]
