[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1537036, member: 52585"] It's very very hard to beat the old trusty 7rm when you honestly weigh the pro's and con's. It will conservatively get a 180 grainer to 2900 which gives you elk killing power out to 800 yards at sea level. It will stretch out even farther at elk killing altitude and can often approach 300 fps. I like the numbers from the 28 Nos but it needs a RUM action and is hard to source brass for plus it can be hard on brass. Another fast 7 I like is the 7mm APR which is an improved version of the 7-300wm. It benefits from using 300wm brass but has to be fire formed and like other hot rods is hard on barrels. [/QUOTE]
