[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 962643, member: 55580"] I get a kick out of the 7mm RUM dislike as well. I don't have a 7mm, but if I did, it would be the RUM. The RUM gets blasted for requiring more powder, reduced barrel life, and increased recoil. Well, if you do the cost calculations, the increase in powder cost is less than five cents per round. If you say the STW can take 500 more rounds down a tube than the RUM, you are talking about an increase of less than 25 cents per round. So, for typically 100fps increase (AZShooter's results don't match this, but it is typically what I have heard) you are going to pay 30 cents per round...seems worth it for me, especially in a gun that you aren't going to be shooting a lot. As for the recoil portion, if someone can really tell the difference in recoil between the RUM, STW, or LRM, I would be amazed. It will be interesting to see how popular the RUM becomes with the introduction of the 195 bergers and the increased popularity of RL33. [/QUOTE]
