[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 1724817, member: 3056"] Like you, I've been around the horn playing with newer, faster, supposedly better, etc. The longer I do it and the more I learn about loading, shooting, and actually seeing the results on game, I came to the same conclusion as you. Ill start with the fact components are usually available even during hard times and you can usually find everything from green and yellow boxes of Cor-Lokt all the way to Bergers and ADG brass if you know where to look. Powder burned vs velocity and recoil made a hard to beat combo. Dare I say the 28 Nosler borders on obnoxious requiring ALOT of powder resulting in ALOT of recoil for in most cases what only results in a couple hundred fps gain and the barrel life is awful if you like to shoot. After trying all the new and better I previously mentioned I've settled back to the 7RM and combined my inability to leave well enough alone by designing my own reamer to shoot the Berger 175 Elite Hunters. Cool thing about this is with this reamer, it allows you to seat the 160 Accubond way out as well. Seeing what the 143 Hammers will do is my next project. I bought a Sendero the first year they came out in 7RM and 3 barrels, a trigger, action job, and a Manners stock later its still my favorite rifle by a long shot (pun intended). [/QUOTE]
