Hands on experience with HSM, yes. I had to try it myself to make recommendation to friends. A few friends are currently using HSM, and Choice Ammunitions (7MM RM and .300 WM, etc.) and are pleased with them. I am sure there are others here, too. But as with anything, YMMV, and you need to try it with your rifle, and see how they "actually" shoot.

Thank u and I will definitely look more into it

That's some spendy ammo. I think your 300 PRC idea is sound if you want to shoot factory stuff.

Hornady ammo generally hammers.

If you are concerned about the price and availability of ammo, you might also consider doing a cost benefit analysis based on how much you shoot with your current set-up vs. re-barreling (before it is due) to another cartridge and how much you are going to shoot it. Approximate cost is $400 for barrel, $250 to chamber, $125 to thread muzzle, etc. Pre-fits are more budget friendly. Again, good luck!

Prefits are more budget friendly if you have the barrel vice, action wrench, and headspace gauges. Since the OP doesn't reload the chances decrease for him to have the needed equipment or skill set. But I think we are thinking the same thing Ed. Without knowing all the particulars purchasing ammo over the internet/ mail order might be the easiest solution.

Yes!

I should of said maybe the easiest and CHEAPEST solution. If the OP only shoots a box or two a year it would take a long time to recoup the cost of a barrel swap vs the difference per box of ammo.

That's exactly my point as noted in #14 and #45.

He should just get a 28 Nosler.

I suppose sooner or later he will figure it all out.

..well if the rum is too much just take a few grains of powder out, it'll simulate any of those you listed with no expense or down time....easy to go down, $$$ to go up...

I always figure It's easier to load a cartridge down instead of up!!

Send me a PM, I live in Laurel Springs. Bruno's has Peterson 7 RUM brass on sale for 73.49 for 50 no tax and flat rate shipping. If you order some new brass and bullets you want to shoot I will help you develop a load. I have access to GA gun club with a 100 yard indoor range for testing. We can measure your chamber, trim and chamfer cases plus set neck tension on all the cases. I have all kinds of differant powders we can try but I found N570 to be the best in mine.

If you want to buy off the shelf ammo the Choice is pretty good stuff, tried some in my 28 Nosler.

Midway has some options in stock at present for 7rum.
It's all your decision here. The Sendero is a good rifle, but hanging another barrel on it will probably be north of 1K without much for other custom stuff. It all depends on how deep your toybox fund is, I guess.
The 28 nos and 7rum are very close; in fact my 7rum barrel was at 1 time a 28nos bbl.. By brother gave me a takeoff Brux (he went to 33nos) in 28. I had a bunch of brass and a set of dies in 7rum so I had my 'smith shorten the bbl. a bit to get a clean chamber and recut her to 7rum. My existing 7rum was shot out so I needed the barrel. This rifle's been a hammer on mule deer with 175 eld-x bullets.

I had a 700 sendero rebarreled to 7 mm STW. Hart barrels did the work, replaced the barrel, hand lapped the bore, trued bulk face and lugs, and mounted a tunable brake. 26-in, 1-8 twist. Total cost was $1, 275.00. well worth the money.

Remember folks, and there is Hart rifles, and there is Hart barrels, 2 different companies located in 2 different locations.
Years back they were one, owned by 2 brothers.
Today is the third generation.
