[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 806923, member: 12995"] I still don't see why with given a 1,000yd max for Elk that the 7mmSTW has been so discredited. It was designed for that specific purpose. Boy do I wish ole Layne Simpson would jump in on this conversation, he'd have a field day. How much experience with a 7mmSTW do you have Montana? How many barrels have you shot out as compared to a 300 RUM? And no, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm seriously asking you a legitimate question. I don't have any experience rebarreling 300 RUMs...I'll admit it, but I still don't see how pushing something that large, as fast as a hotter smaller bullet won't burn out the throat equally as fast... That's a big flame coming out of the RUMs. I've had my 7mmSTW for 11 years and STILL have not shot the barrel out... My STW doesn't have a brake on the end...And it doesn't kick hardly anymore than a 7mm RemMag does. It actually kicks less than my buddy's 300 WinMag. [/QUOTE]
