[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 850160, member: 11717"] The worth of it is in the eye of the beholder and I can understand your point of view. With the Dakota nad the LRM, they are essentially the same ballistically as the STW and all 3 are good 1 K rifles because they get there with a little extra smack vs the 7RM which barely gets there. Much beyond that range and I think it's time to step up a little and that's why I have a 300 RUM vs a WM or WSM. Some guys like to see how far they cam possibly stretch their rifle. I like the idea of getting there with a little extra. As for the dimishing returns of the 7 RUM, I think it's too overbore to be very efficient but the is changing with changing technology. As I mentioned, RL33 will probably become the powder for the 7 RUM and when the 195 EOL comes out it will shed a whole new light on the 7 RUM. And with the technology of nitride treating of barrels, the barrel life issue will probably greatly fade, if a guy invests in his barrel. [/QUOTE]
