[QUOTE="Wild Monkey, post: 1783217, member: 103097"] (Long Post of drivel so get ready) Why do we even have the 7mm Rem Mag with a Belt? I had to rewrite this post. It just doesn't sit well with me. There was a .280 Newton near a Hundred Years ago. Only it wasn't the exact same bore size and Rifling we have today with the Standardized 7mm. Truth is the perfect 7mm died out somehow and then was reinvented on a budget using outdated existing Brass Belt Manufacturing. It's got that Short Neck because it had to have More powder than the 7X61mm S&H. IMO the S&H is a far superior Cartridge. Speed sells and they got over on the American Public with the 7RM with the Performance aspect. It's on every Shelf, it's darn good, and it's Cheap and affordable, it's just not the Best. Your not going to get the same performance out of a Short Action unless you don't mind Excessive Barrel wear, they just won't offer enough Boiler Room. The Newton and the 7X61mm were created to fire much lighter Bullets and if you want to shoot the 180 grain projectile with efficiency your gonna need the Boiler Room to do it effectively.
