[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1059893, member: 12995"] Well, it depends on a lot of things... Do you want to easily be able to find brass? Do you like being able to buy a set of dies from any and everywhere at the drop of a hat? Do you like being able to find factory ammo as a source for brass, if brass becomes scarce? Do you want to be able to find tons of established load data? If so, the 7mm RemMag will be perfect. Also, the 7mmRM can shoot the 180's just fine. I prefer the 168's because whitetails don't require a huge massive bullet to take down, and the 168 VLD gives me all the knockdown and penetration I need. It's also a very flat shooting bullet because of the added speed, thanks to the lighter weight when compared the 180. I do shoot 180's, but only in my heavier, larger 7mm calibers. Nothing at all wrong with the 7mmLRM, but if you want a rifle that you will constantly be able to load for, and be able to find brass for, or find factory loaded ammo for, the 7mmRM would be a much better option, IMO.
