[QUOTE="agentcooper, post: 1328308, member: 6087"] I'm the guy jgal72 referenced earlier that rebarrelled back to 7mm RM. After years of turning necks, weight sorting, checking for runout, then spending way more money than I would have liked to in the process, I was still being perplexed at how a sub 1/2 moa rifle would randomly throw shots over 1 moa out of a group out during bench work and randomly blow primers with no apparent cause or reason. I lost all confidence in using that rifle to shoot at anything with a pulse. I strive my hardest to only take a shot with a near certain probability of a kill within my skill set. That rifle just started to bother me with it's randomness and wondering if it is going to throw a shot in a hunting situation. I saved the barrel, but I don't know if I would put it back on another gun without punching it out to a 7RUM or 28 Nosler first. On Paper, the cartridge is awesome. Recoil is similar to a standard 7mm RM and gains about 100 fps with a comparable powder charge, but I could never figure out what plagued the darned thing. I'll lose 100fps for reliability any day.
