[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1237954, member: 26535"] The 7-300 Win has better brass available than the 7LRM. The 180 Berger hybrid's node is around 3165fps. The STW may push a 180 faster than the 7-300 but the accuracy node is not really going to change so you are just wasting powder. The 7-300 will allow the bullet to be seated where it should be in a standard long action magazine like a 700. The STW will have the bullet seated pretty deep into the case. The 7-300 is formed by running a 300 win mag case through a busing die and loading just like any other cartridge so prep is minimal. It is nice having so many options available but If you want a fast 7mm the 7-300 is about as good as it gets in my opinion. This is a long range hunting forum so its obvious I think we didn't come here looking for Grandpa's 30-06. The STW and the 7-300 will blow the 7mm Rem Mag away and the 280 is not even in the ball park. If you want a great performing cartridge with out the price of bushing dies go with a 7mm Rem Mag or the STW. If you want more performance and are willing to pay for bushing dies the 7-300 is worth it for the increase in performance over the Rem Mag and the efficiency over the STW. The 28 Nosler is another great option but I would not want to buy the brass. In my opinion the practical is not worth the effort for fire forming. Barrel life is already too short. [/QUOTE]
