[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 893872, member: 51650"] TomSD A braked 7mm RemMag is pretty soft shooting so it should work for recoil sensitive shooters. For people with shoulder problems they need to look seriously at the recoil pads. Some are real pillows but some come pretty hard too. Remmy has a pretty soft number on their synthetic stocks that helps a bunch. There are recoil reducers that fit in the butt stock. Worth looking at. Absolutely nothing wrong with the 7mm RemMag at LR!!! The SAAMI chamber standards for 300 Weatherby include a long freebore so single loaded rounds can be way out there. This is a BIG advantage. There's not enough difference between Weatherby/RUM for me to quibble when I am doing a rifle on a budget. If you seat the long high-BC bullets just deep enough where the boat tail only and none of the bullet's shank is below the neck they will generally fit a Weatherby chamber. Weatherby's RC labeled guns are accuracy guaranteed. Of the calibers listed it's the 300 Weatherby hands down and goin' away! Mossberg is Remington owned and source their barrels from the same place. It should shoot fine. 800yds fine I'm not sure but maybe with at least one load. AKBman Got that email too. Have bought what appear to be Hornady 300gr SpBT Interlocks in 375 cal same source.
