[QUOTE="IanCo, post: 1981479, member: 106861"] I have a 7 Dakota which is almost identical to the 7 LRM. As far as efficiency, I think it’s right at the tipping point for the 7’s. The cartridges with more capacity aren’t really getting much more velocity. I have a brake on my rifle and I would say the recoil is comparable to a 243. It is extremely shootable. My wife shot it a couple weeks ago and went 2 for 3 on a 10” plate at 500 yards and it was her second time shooting a hunting rifle. It’s also been super easy to load for, I can get .5-.75 MOA loads relatively easily with any of the powder/bullet combinations I’ve tried. When I wear out my barrel or brass I will look real hard at the 7LRM since they started making ADG brass for it. I will also look at the 7 Practical and 28 Sherman too. The 28 Nosler is definitely the easy path. The 7mm Weatherby Mag and STW are super solid choices too. Point being, it’s a good cartridge class to get into for being easy to shoot and load for, and your good to go for any hunting in lower 48. [/QUOTE]
