Best 7mm out there now

[bfarms]

I'll run up there with my stopwatch if needed.
Glimmer doesn't want to use it anymore.

Well when I get it turned down far enough we can for sure time it with a stop watch. Gotta be better than my junk chrono.

Whatever any of you do. Do not, and I repeat. DO NOT BUILD A WILDCAT WITH THE BEST PARTS YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON AND RUN IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL. Turn the fuel back on that bad boy and run with the normal cartridges of that caliber so you don't over pressure things, ruin brass or beat the gun up. I repeat. Do not! Obviously there's only a few people on here that know when things are over pressure. So run it by them first. The rest of us are just stupid. We cannot see any signs or have the proper tools to check it.

There's folks that live on the Borderline and then there's folk that are just Boards

Don't forget about the Sherman 7mm that's basically a necked down 300PRC. Can't remember it's exact name but it seems like it would be like the most ideal 7mm out there. Besides the 7mm dakota

28 Nosler. This is 3 shots yesterday @ 100yds. 195 @ 3101fps. Not a max load.

7 rem mag will always be the king of 7mms

It's the prince. The 7 STW is the king. It's doing at 200 yards what the 7 mag is doing at the muzzle! Which means, as the 7mag is thinking of leaving the muzzle, that 150 Accubond has already killed the deer.

the only few I have at the moment of this brass killing, over pressure pile.

280
7RM
7RUM

Personally, on a hunting rifle, I value performance above all.
To me that means velocity and accuracy, within safe limits of course.

If a case only lasts 6-8 firings shooting fast heavy .264, 284 or .308 calibers yet my goal is met, I celebrate. Or 5 firings.

Case life of 15 firings is for some other kind of cartridge, like small or mild ones. Neither are interesting for the most part. But I use .257 for what a lot of people do with .224

Word .....

28 Nosler for me
7Mag will always have a spot in the go to grab rifles

7RM will do anything anyone will ever need it to. Sure the bigger boomers will do it from further away but who can't get closer and have same results? 7RM is available virtually everywhere (components/ammo) and most can shoot it w/o a brake. It's range capabilities are beyond what most can shoot (and not I don't mean most on this site but across the globe) efficiently and it's been doing it for 61 years. And according to die sales is the most popular round. This is what I think qualifies for ultimate 7mm. Most of the big boomer requirements are special order, custom actions, custom dies, and at over three times the cost. No offense to you guys running those heavy hittin 7mm's, they're impressive and I'm jealous but for me and average joes factory is about all we can manage and make those better with a little handloading. If I had to turn all my other rifles in and could only choose 1 it would be a toss up (and hard decision) between 280 and 7mmRM. But would probably choose just the 7RM
