[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 287085, member: 505"] I just stated why I did not have a 7mm rem mag in my arsenal. It is a very popular cartridge and a good cartridge for a standard commonly available cartridge. Having built wildcat cartridges since the 70's I found in my opinion some better options that made the 7mm rem mag not fit into my arsenal. I have two pet 7mm JRS rifles which are all you can get out of a blown out 280 case. They shoot the 140 grain bullets almost 3300 fps and the 160 grain bullets almost 3100 fps with a 26" barrel. These are my accuraccy loads. They use less powder with less noise and recoil and cheaper brass than the 7mm rem mag and no belt which some like. You 7mm rem mag shooters can compare your velocities and see how far off the JRS is from you but I know it falls right in there. For my magnum 7mm I use the 7mm-300 wby and the 7mm STW which steps up quite a bit over the 7mm rem mag. Here is the data on my pet 7mm-300 wby I built in 1977 on a 28" Hart barrel and it still shoots very well. My accuracy loads with 7828 push 140 grain bullets 3680 fps and the 162 Amax at 3460 fps. From all my data I have developed through the years you can see how the 7mm rem mag just got shuffled out of my arsenal since I could virtually duplicate it with the smaller JRS and far exceed it with the 7mm-300 wby. I don't mean to hurt anyones feelings on here. I just was stating why I didn't have a 7mm rem mag. [/QUOTE]
