[QUOTE="NoTasker, post: 1059866, member: 88366"] I'm in the process of ordering a custom rifle and the question of 7mm RM versus 7mm LRM came up. I already have a smaller caliber and also a .30 caliber rifle. I've decided I like the ballistics of the 7mm cartridge. This will be used for both target shooting (steel) as well as hunting (deer, elk). Is there any difference that would sway me one way or the other? Is there much difference in the recoil? What am I missing? For the 7mm Remington Mag he was my thinking: Ammo is plentiful and easy to find 168gr seems to be the largest (with the best ballistics) For the 7mm LRM: Ammo would need to be handloaded and/or ordered via a custom shop A bit more powder capacity More downrange velocity due to powder. I'd love to hear feedback and thoughts from the members about which way they would go with this dilemma. [/QUOTE]
