[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 232895, member: 2736"] JARHEAD. I used a 7mm rem mag for years for 1000yrd hi power matches and did very well with it.( I even won a few matches with it at the state level). It had a 29 3/4" shilen barrel and pushed the 168gr SMK at 3254 (Very hot). It has now been re chambered in 7 STW and still shoots sub 1/2 moa groups after 7 to 8000 rds. This is a very good round for 1000yrd shooting and has good barrel life. The 7 STW will add over 100ft/sec over the 7 RM and the 7mm RUM will up that with 168gr SMK to almost 3400ft/sec with a long barrel ( 28 to 30" ). I Have several 7 WSM's that I hunt with and realy like them but they can't match the 7 STW or The 7 RUM with big bullets. I also tried a 30/378 with a 200gr accubond @ over 3200ft/sec using 118gr 50 BMG, But the other shooters protested because of muzzle blast.(No break just a huge fire ball ). So with that said ,for what you want to do I would recomend going with,1=factory cartriges, 2=7 RM 3= 7STW and 4= 7RUM. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
