[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 2169, member: 547"] kl, I'm currently working on a 7mmRUM project myself. As Darryl stated, it IS overbore, 'inefficient', & a general pain to reload for. With that being said, it is also: super flat, super fast, moderately recoiling, & very very wind resistant. From a 30" barrel, 156s (BC of .640) are going @3,550 & 180 class bullets (BC @ .740-.750) from 3,300-3,400 at safe pressures. They retain velocity well for the distances you describe. Still looking for the most accurate & consistent load though. If you'd like, I can E-mail some loads & comments to you that take up quite a bit too much space for the forum.... [/QUOTE]
