[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 331602, member: 8927"] The 7 RUM will be better for elk past 800 yds. More case capacity means higher velocity, more energy on target and less wind drift. However the 7 RUM will have less barrel life and the long throating may make it difficult to get the VLD type bullets to group well (large jump to rifling) although I have heard good reports with the 175 sierra matchking. The 200 gr Wildcat bullet would be pretty good though. The 7 STW will have less recoil and slightly more barrel life. With your requirement of elk past 800 yds I would go with the 7 RUM. The Remington Sendero II would be a good place to start. Stu. [/QUOTE]
