[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 501535, member: 11717"] Cross, the 7RM is what is, nothing more, nothing less, and it is not a 300 mag. It just dumbfounds me that so many people think the 7mm is some kind of magic pill. Let's examine some facts of life. First fact... the 308 is a larger cal than the 284 which means it make a bigger hole and causes more destruction. Second fact... the 300 mags have more case capacity the the 7 RM and push heavier bullets at greater velocities. Third fact... there are not plenty of high BC bullets readily available in the 7mm. There are a few. The Bergers and JLK's which are the same thing, and the A-max... all highly frangible bullets with a large spectrum of terminal results. there are also the wildcats that are usually hard to come by, but there are wildcat 30's also. The GS 177 and CE 180's are good BC bullets with good velocity potential in the 308 cal. So if you want to pick for the 7, you can also pick for the 30. My 300 WSM will out distance any 7 RM with 2" less barrel. On muzzle brakes and recoil..., I shoot a 300 RUM without a muzzle brake and I can shoot it all day long on the bench using a slip-on recoil pad. The slip-on can be removed if desired for hunting and you will never notice it. Recoil and muzzle breaks are no argument. I'm not a 7RM hater. As I've stated several times in this thread, I've done a lot of hunting with the 7 and for many years it was my go to rifle and it's a great cartridge. But it is what it is and nothing more... and it is not a 300 Mag. [/QUOTE]
