[QUOTE="dragman, post: 1055339, member: 39571"] I think it's harmonics and B.C. With large overbore cartridges the bigger bullets I think give more stable or better harmonics. Also the extremely high B.C. bullets help with conditions keeping the groups tighter also IMHO. I think the RUM is a misunderstood cartridge and If berger ever releases the 195 then we will truly see something impressive. As it is the 7RUM just doesn't offer enough over the 7WSM, 7SAUM, 7DAKOTA, or the 7STW to make it worth the while. The 195 would change that really fast IMHO. Look at the 300WSM vs the 300RUM when shooting 200 grain bullets or less it is hard to see adding 40% more powder for a 6-8% gain. But when you go too the 230's and 240's the amount gets much closer.
