[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1685888, member: 103919"] I'd recommend you keep your Tikka 7RM and have a new barrel put on that can shoot the heavy 7s, something with a 8 twist. With that twist you can even shoot the 195s, from other posts those can be pushed 2800 from a 7RM. I made the mistake of turning my 7RM into a 338WM a few years ago. The 338 is a good round, and it put my elk down well. However, I think the 7 would have probably done as well and been better for deer. I've had to do more switching to find good deer bullets for the 338 than I did with the 7. I have a long action with a burned out barrel (MCM edge stock, Lawton action, jewell trigger, Badger DBM), that is waiting for some extra funds so I can buy a Proof 8 twist 7mm barrel so it can become a lighter weight 7RM.
