Hello guys, just looking for a little info. My next long range hunting rifle project will probably be a 7mm STW of a 7mm Rem Ultra. I will most likely run the 168 Berger VLD's exclusively. The barrel will be at least 28", maybe more to get the most efficient burn and velocity potential. What are your velocity experiences running a 28"+ barrel with the 168 VLD's in either caliber? Also have heard the RUM is a barrel burner and loads may have to be reduced as throat wears, if this is true, that won't work. I am basically looking for high velocity in the 7mm caliber to keep that berger at 1800 fps as far out as I can, but I shoot a lot and the barrel will have to last too! Thanks
