[QUOTE="mrultramag, post: 115057, member: 4467"] Ok. I have a 7 rum mod 700 LSS and mod 700 BDL 300 rum. My handload for 7 rum is 150 partition at 3450 fps. My handload for the 300 is the 200 accubond at 3150 fps. These are the loads that I hunt with. Right now I have been looking for something different (re: more) out of the 7 with little success thus far (its still early in the process however). The 300 shoots 180s quite well at about 3350 fps also. The 7 recoils less in my opinion. Neither of my guns are muzzle braked. The 300 is more popular and hits quite hard. The 7 is a little bit of a stepchild with a few rumors of it being unpredictable and hard to load for. Maybe its a little persnickity at times. It has a little more appeal in that everyone don't own one and since your going to be rebarreling, with proper twist, throating etc. you can really realize this cartridge's true potential. either one will kill animals just fine. 28 in bbl will buy you more performance as well. Good luck with your choice. LOts of knowledgable people on here that may weigh in with opinions for you! [/QUOTE]
