[QUOTE="drenge, post: 330417, member: 9300"] Thanks yobuck. I should clarify that my 7 mm RM still has a factory 24" barrel and holds the 1/2 MOA out to 300 yards. Beyond 300 the patterns start to open up a bit. I figure a heavier, longer barrel will get me more fps and possibly the ability to hold 1/2 MOA a bit further out. As for more gun - well, I'm building a 338 edge. I really like the 300 RUM but would like to take a larger step up in caliber. I think that should be gun enough for what I need. But I do like the lighter weight 7 mm RM with the 168 bergers. I think its' consistency and its' ability to take large animals at distance is proven. The only thing I'm trying to decide is whether to re-chamber for a 7mm RUM or STW and then go up to the 180 gr bergers. The problem is I already have all of the dies and equipment for the RM and I've heard reloading can be finicky as far as ES and SD are concerned. If anyone has any thoughts I'm open. But to reiterate my earlier point: I think the bergers do a fantastic job knocking down large animals if you hit 'em right. [/QUOTE]
