[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 840556, member: 11717"] Why are you getting a 32" 7 RUM for 600 yd shooting? If your looking for accuracy @ 600 yds, use something like a 7-08 or 7 x 57 shooting something like a 168 Match VLD Target in a 10 twist. The 7 RUM will be more finicky to develop an accurate load. As to which bullet, Horandy vs Berger, is more accurate, no one can tell you that. Every rifle and barrel has its own personality. A well built rifle with a good custom match grade barrel should shoot most anything well. What's your priority? You ask what's more accurate... the SST or the EOL? Then you balk at the "recommended minimum" twist for the big bullet? There is a huge diff between the 140 nd 195 bullets. For best results you need to decide if you want to go heavy or light. The 7 RUM is an inefficient chambering and extremely inefficient with light bullets. It will push bullets faster than most other chamberings, but at a great cost. Moly was the voodoo craze years ago but now a days everyone has abandoned it, but hey, it your $$$$$. [/QUOTE]
