[QUOTE="AvidHunterAbe, post: 562708, member: 38373"] Thanks for the replies Trebark and Lyons, about dang time I got to converse about this stuff with hunters and shooters that use this stuff afield. I can acquire the information, the experience/wisdom is what Ive been looking for. Correction: The .270 win is actually a TC Icon, not an Encore....I seem to make that wording mistake often. If I were to keep it as a 7mm, what kind of like expectancy does the barrel have? (approx. shots?) The reason I like the idea of a 7mm RUM is because I like to think more rifle is better than not enough rifle. I only use my long range rifles in persuit of trophies, any meat hunts (a few does and cow elk each year) are usually left of to the the old 300 win or 338 win mag or .308 Trebark: What are any other advantages you have found in the .280? What kind of range are you comfortable with when shooting your carry gun? And why is it you suggest I shoot the heaviest bullet I can, I was under the impression that the flatter you can get the trajectory the better it will be for accuracy.......obviously I am here to learn. Thanks for all of your help! [/QUOTE]
