[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 560000, member: 2736"] First I think you have to make a decision to reload or not. if you don't intend to reload that changes the playing field considerably. Buying factory ammo limits you, as others have said to one or two manufactures. Factory ammo goes with the latest cartriges and when a new "Designer" cartrige comes out they stop making the tried and true ammo causing some to say that a cartrige is on it's way out. The 7 STW is one of these cartriges, but believe me it is not on it's way out, In fact it has had a resurgence in popularity the last couple of years. I have never met a 7 mm that I didn't like. and all have performed very well in there specific roll for there intended use. At the moment However I see the 300 RUM as the most user friendly with different levels of energy, recoil and cost. Low energy ammo can be at 30/06 levels and price. as you up the power level, energy, trajectory,velocity and recoil go up along with price. Some of the owners of the 300 RUM buy the power level 1 or even the managed recoil for bench shooting and break in at $34.00 dollars a box. then step up to the level 2 for normal deer hunting and the level 3 stuff for Elk and Distance for $50.00+ dollars a box. The range of this factory ammo is from 308 to one of the most powerful .30 cals on the planet. If you decide to reload you can change all of this and end up with a caliber that suits your hunting needs. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
