[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 697113, member: 5219"] I have had three 7 RUMs and two 300 RUMs. I like both. Bullet choice may push you towards the 300 RUM. The 7 RUM with its 1 in 9 14/ twist is right on the edge of stabilization for a 180 Berger. Two of the 7 RUMs I had would not stabilize the 180 Berger VLD, one did. I don't know about the new 180 hybrid. The 300 RUM should be able to stabilize all weight Berger bullets. IMO there is little difference between the 7 STW and the 7 RUM with 26" barrels, maybe 50 fps. I feel the 7 RUM needs a longer barrel to get max performance. Hope that helps. If you decide on the 7 RUM and practice with it often you will soon be in the market for a new barrel. More length plus a faster twist would be a great improvement and you could shoot the upcoming 7mm 195 EOL Berger [/QUOTE]
