[QUOTE="Broz, post: 933508, member: 7503"] These posts hold truths. I have built 3 7mm / 300 wins and also have owned and set up many 7 Rems. There is nothing wrong with a 7 Rem but with 180's the 7/300 is easily 200 fps faster. We have seen 3200 fps @ 4100 ' ALS. with a 29 1/2" 7/300. We finalized that load at 3175 and drops were spot on to 1500 yards. The slowest one I built was a 26" and was still over 3100 fps and .3 moa at 300 yards with 3 consecutive groups. At this point the 7/300 has passed the round count where we saw the 7 STW start to show accuracy loss. The 7mm/300 is still a .5 moa rifle at 1000. The 7mm/300 win is[B] well[/B] above a 7 RUM for barrel life too. A simple bushing change to the 300 win dies to have a great set of dies to neck down 300 win brass and you are set. I have field experience with many 7's and as soon as the 195 Bergers are released I will be testing another for myself with a 28" plus tube. Right now we just ordered a 8.5 twist tube for a short barrel (22") build in 7mm/300. That should be interesting. After owning many different 7's I feel the 7mm/300 win is a very good option if you actually shoot enough to care about barrel life. And if you want the most you can get in performance with a rifle that will still be shooting accurately after 1000 rounds. Just my opinion after wringing the 7/300 out with real world field experience. Jeff [/QUOTE]
