[QUOTE="Tikka300man, post: 1833822, member: 45224"] Honestly I think the 7mm Weatherby Mag is the best, all things considered. With it's long neck and throat, it can propel long bullets to high velocities but it doesn't generate the recoil of the 7mm STW, 28 Nosler or 7mm RUM, plus your barrel will last about 3 times longer than the 7mm RUM. Sadly though from Weatherby you can only get a 1:10" twist which will stabilize almost all hunting bullets except for a few of the longer more aerodynamic bullets, where you'll want a 1:9 or even faster twist rate. For that you'd have to build one yourself and if you go that route, make sure it has the freebore to get the most out of this round. [/QUOTE]
