[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 472105, member: 24624"] If you go with 7mm Rem Mag, try Superformance. I friend has had good results in his Tikka T3. My Sendero kicked a lot harder than my 30-06. So, I had to install a brake. (Yes, I'm a wimp when it comes to shooting 15-20 at one sitting.) That may not be an issue for typical hunting. I love the 25-06, but I've always been disappointed with bullet options compared to other calibers. There may only be one or 2 factory loads with a BC over .4. (BC isn't everything. But, it is one thing you can control.) Check your twist if you're building for the 115-120g's. Like most cartridges, handloading opens up your options. Jack O'Connor would likely have chosen the 270 Win. 30-06 is very capable and lots of ammo like 270 Win. WSM ammo may be less available in small stores. But, there are a lot of choices from larger retailers. I haven't shot them. But, I hear claims of more velocity with less recoil. 270 WSM looks about right to me with 7 WSM possibly a better performer yet more recoil. Does anybody out there actually have a rifle like he's describing? Or, are all the serious long range folks handloaders? --richard [/QUOTE]
