[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 849859, member: 55580"] I guess what I am getting at though is this: is the short barrel life that much more significant than the STW? I would think it would be similar to comparing the 300 Win to the 300 RUM. I know the Win is extremely popular, and Broz makes a hell of a case for it, but the 300 RUM does have a pretty good following as well on here. The barrel life between those two calibers can't be that much more significant than the STW versus the RUM, especially when you are 'only' increasing the velocity 100fps versus 200fps. It just seems to like it's more 'hearsay' than anything with the 7 RUM. People read that it's more expensive per load, when it is really only 5 cents of powder more. Barrel life is worse, but is it really 500 rounds different? Or are we talking 100 rounds? Tough to know for sure as there are a lot of variables in there. All in all, I just see a lot more people open to the 300 RUM over the 300 Win, for example, but people are completely against a 7 RUM over an STW and it just doesn't seem to be that much different of an argument between the two, in my opinion.
