[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 127899, member: 2740"] I am shooting a 7RUM. Haven't gotten to test the peformance at long range yet. Shot a buck in north MO a few days ago at a whopping 53 yds! So much for the long open field shot I was hoping for. I got a deal on some 150 gr Ballistic Tips really cheap so that's what I am shooting. I am using 90 gr of IMR 7828 SSC and the Federal 215 match primer and moly coated bullets. It is shooting right at 3400 fps from my 26" 700 and it is shooting under .5 moa at 100 yds. Performance on the deer was impressive considering the impact velocity and a shoulder hit. I am going to post pics and details hopefully today. I personally wouldn't want to shoot anything less than 140 gr bullet. Not much to be gained on trajectory and hard on barrel life. The 140 BT should be impressive on varmints as far away as you can hit them. For deer and larger critters, the 140 and especially 160 gr Accubond would be hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
