[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 426264, member: 20438"] I have never owned or shot a 7RUM but I have been shooting a 7STW for 10+ years now and I love it. For years I shot a 140 grain Barnes X bullet ( original X ) acculubed at 3450 fps with a 24" barrel and this was a moderate/accuracy load. When I do replace the barrel it will be a 26" Rock. I am now shooting a 180 Berger at 3000 fps pushed by US869. I am at almost 1000 rounds now through the barrel and accuracy is still in the .6's. That being said I have babied this barrel never ever letting it heat up. This could all change at anytime, my 7REM Mag went south all at once at 1800 rounds. As noted in other posts high velocity burns barrels. [/QUOTE]
