[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1291165, member: 12995"] For what little velocity gain you will get with the RUM, when you rebarrel, you might consider the 7mm STW or .28 Nosler as viable options. They produce nearly identical ballistics as the RUM, but with nearly 20 grains less powder, and much better barrel life. One my 7mm STW's was built off an old 7RUM Rem 700 CDL action. The RUM would group like a softball at 100 yards. Had a beautiful (and repeatable) pinwheel cold-bore shot, but shots 2 and 3 looked like a few buckshot pellets managed to hit a target at 100 yards...They were completely unpredictable. I had a spare STW heavy barrel sitting in the safe, my smith lives 15 munutes away with a week or 2 turn-around time, so why tolerate poor accuracy, when you can do something about it quickly and inexpensively.
