[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1467154, member: 12995"] Magnum primers are not that big of a deal to buy... Just find you a $40 brick of Federal 215M's and you're set for quite a while. As for powder burning, maybe about 10-15 grains more powder per shot. So that means, about 15-16 rounds less per pound of powder. Bullets are the same, but I'd recommend the new 175 Elite Hunters. Recoil and muzzle blast are greater, but perfectly manageable without a muzzle brake. Belted vs. non-belted means nothing if you know how to properly setup your dies. Don't let all the internet bullshitters scare you about belted cases. They are just like non-belted cases, the only difference is they headspace off the belt, and not the shoulder (at first). So, to correctly work with belted cases, you neck-size your belted cases after the first time you shoot them, and continue neck-sizing them until you get resistance when closing the bolt, then you FL size them once, then continue to neck size again until you feel resistance...repeat the process. 7mm RemMag is one of my all-time favorite cartridges, and has been my main deer rifle cartridge for over 16 years.
