[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2987170, member: 8394"] Mergers, acquisitions sales and reorganization.... Didn't help that they were relying on subbing out production and we've had 3x several years long rush/shortages in the last 15 years. Go back to the late 90s early 2000s and it was much more limited options. Now the big brands all have competing cartridges with backing of more consistent components and support. New sales drop off, support will soon follow. Had a 7 wsm, 7rem, and 7rum purchased within weeks of each other. 7 wsm was probably the best of the wsms odd how the others all eclipsed it. Sold it for a 270 wsm when family bought 270s, figured no sense in being odd man out. 7 rem was a donor rifle, shot all the included ammo from the sale and gave the tube and components to an acquaintance. 7 rum was because at the time I couldn't swing a 7 am, shot it a pile and started a habit of always having one and one in rotation with a smoked barrel. I'm down to just one 7 rum currently, had built an ultralight 300 rum for a point and click meat harvestor. It was just a bit brutal, ultralight and 165s at Mach billion from a 300 rum kill both ways. It went to a masochistic friend and built a dupe in 7 rum, so far so good it's still a little stout for its weight but manageable. My varmint 7 rum is currently being re barreled down to a hot 6.5, might to the same when this barrel wears out. Probably depend on if I become a wuss when I get to my 40s. Long way of saying 7 rum is my favorite 7. Keeps the barrel man happy and the powder mfg in the $$. [/QUOTE]
