[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1724699, member: 307"] I like the 7mmRM, I had one of the 1st gen Senderos in this caliber and it was wonderfully accurate. I shot the barrel out on it (1300rds). Got an un-braked 700P that kicks the beJesus out of me. I don't shoot it much because of that. It's really my sons (I gave it to him) but has ended up back over here at my house, for some reason? I always shot the 150gn Ballistic Tip's in my 7Mags and the 700P shoots them well, and fast (3200+fps). I had a few of the Wildcat 169.5gn bullets and worked up a decent (.4") load but they're all gone now. This was a pleasant surprise (to me) because I had tried to get this same rifle to shoot a 168gn Berger and never could get the results I was after. I've semi-convinced my boy into putting a brake on the thing and he's agreeable but has yet to send funds, thinks he's waiting/hoping I'll do it. This is a factory 9.25t, so not sure how heavy I can go but with a brake I might try it! I also have a braked .300WinMag and like it a lot. It spits out the 215gn Bergers at about 3050fps and holds fist sized groups out to 1k, the last time I shot it. It sends the 212gn ELD-X's a little faster but haven't sent them in to the next zip code, yet, maybe this weekend. "Where have all the men gone"?...to the range with their muzzle brakes! LoL.
