[QUOTE="Broz, post: 742849, member: 7503"] This is what my experience has taught me and why I am back to the 300 win after owning 300 Rums, 30-378's and such. To be good on first round cold bore hits, and one shot DRT kills at longer distances it requires practice and lots of it. That means shooting regularly all year long in different field conditions and changing winds. A 7mm RUM simply would not last me long enough to get where I want to be with the rifle and re-barreling means starting over with load development, drops, and all. That would be close to a barrel a year for me. I have seen these type rifles loose accuracy and start to suffer from a burnt throat in 500 to 700 rounds. The 7mm has some exciting things happening in the future with the release of the 195 Berger. That bullet with a BC close to .8 may change some things. But for now the 300 win and a 215 or 230 Berger is simply what I prefer for Elk, especially if I need to go to 1000 yards. Jeff [/QUOTE]
