[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2149061, member: 3230"] I used to be a huge 7RM fan but then moved up to a RUM and then .338s - LM and Edge. But then I tried a 28N - we will see how fast the barrels burn out, but I had two built by the same guy - both are super accurate and shoot exactly the same load. I have one to practice with, and one for hunting. I have not tried a 7RM with newer powders, but from what I have seen the 28N kicks the 7RM's butt when it comes to LR. That said, a 7mm 195 at 3000, a .308 225 ELD at 3150, or .338 285 ELD or 300 Berger around 2800 fps all have about the same wind drift. I am a huge .338 WM fan; shot most of the planet with one, but it wouldn't be my choice for LR. [/QUOTE]
