[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 2662993, member: 11132"] Since you reload the world is open. Personally if you shoot the 7RM fine I would not drop lower unless you would like a 6.5 that is dedicated to long range i.e. 26-28" barrel etc. Not sure if your looking for a factory or custom build rifle. If it were me given you have the 7RM in LR config I would go 6.5 rsaum or a 300WSM. The latter throw a brake on it and it will recoil like a 90gr 243. The 300 wsm is easy to load for, scary accurate, and as you stretch things out to 1k it's better at anchoring game. The 6.5 rsaum is a lazer and less recoil. Set it up in a mid or long action for the 156EOL 28" barrel will drop anything native to Texas plus the hogs @ 1k+. The 7 rsaum is popular F class 1k cartridge. IIRC, the aussie team runs them. Again a great load good to 1k hunting and target. Running 180s is a nice balance. But it's very similar to your 7rm. [/QUOTE]
