[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 935319, member: 13632"] I've got about 400 rounds down it, taking it very easy and I only put that barrel on when I'm bored or want to play with a bullet. I looked at the throat the last time I swapped it out and it's fine, it should not have the throat life of a lesser case like the STW but it won't magically get half the life just because it's an RUM. I have not had many 7 RUM's so I don't know if that would be average or not velocity but I don't think I'm pushing it overly hard considering the case capacity and velocity vs the 7mm-300 Win. It does have a long throat like many RUM's do, I have not even pushed it hard enough to loosen a primer pocket which is a typical RUM thing to see after a few firings. I think no one has really worked with the 7 RUM case enough to really get a solid feeling for it, I got this barrel to play with the 200gr Wildcat bullet but shortly after getting it and fitting those bullets went MIA so there is really no bullet that is really excellent in this capacity case until maybe the 195 Berger. I still think the 7mm-300 win is an ideal top end BUT if you gotta go big do it right and don't screw around, stomp on itgun) [/QUOTE]
