[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 775923, member: 11717"] BTW, I have a lot of respect for Bryan Litz and after reading the article it seems that one of the arguments made for the 7 is that it can push heavier bullets faster. I'm not too sure about that. In the 7RM Sendero, you should be able to push a 180 bullet about 3000 or so. 3000 fps was max for 160's in my 24" 7RM. Might have got them going a little faster with Retumbo or RL17. The 300 WM Sendero should be able to push a 215 gr bullet close to 3000. When it comes to hunting, there is a significant difference between a 7mm 180 gr bullet and a 30 cal 215 gr bullet. Not exactly splitting hairs. Ballistics are close but not terminal performance.
