[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 2044786, member: 2567"] I have a T-3 and it's great, but I also purchased two 5 port lil beast brakes from muzzle brakes and more and they work as well as the T-3 for less than half the money and Nate can taper the brake to match your muzzle diameter too, saving time and money. Since you are starting with a RUM action, the rails are opened up wider than a non rum magnum so you really need to stay with a cartridge that is similar in dimensions to the rum. You would need to ask a good gunsmith about what cartridges would work, but if you got away from the rum style casing you might have feeding problems. When I took an old 338 win mag model 700 and rebarreled it to a 300 rum, the action rails had to be opened up for the rum casings to feed properly. In your case I would shoot the 7 rum with 180 -195 Bergers and see how it shoots. [/QUOTE]
