[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 853313, member: 11717"] Varberger, other than the "howitzer" bashing, a very interesting thread. The [B]7 x 66 Super Express vom Hofe[/B] sounds like it lies between the 7 WSM and 7 Dakota which are also based off the 404 Jeffry, which is probably my favorite basic case design. Interestingly, in another thread, we have been discussing another European created cartridge being the 8x68S. I like it and it could easily be necked down to a 7mm. As it is, it would be very close to a 7/300 WM. If improved it can match the 7 STW which is the same as a 7 Dakota in performance. Norma makes the 6x68S brass and it is available here in the US for a reasonable price.... and.... it has no belt :D I also like the 338 LM as a parent case for a 7mm cartridge and would pick that over a RUM for better brass and a more compact configuration which is friendlier to the longer high BC Long Range bullets. BTW, On a side note, I shot the 300 RUM for a few years without a muzzle brake and shot many sub 1/2 MOA groups with it. My new 300 RUM wears a muzzle brake to both make it more pleasant and more effective in getting back on target which is important int the Long Range game. You will probably notice that most of the serious LR shooters in this forum put brakes on their rifles, even the small er calibers. [/QUOTE]
