[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 683861, member: 9705"] I don't own a 7 RUM and not likely I ever will. But agree strongly with previous posters. A 120 gn bullet in 7 RUM is a recipe for erratic powder burn and highly variable velocity. Only use for that cartridge in my mind is for 180 or 190 gn Bergers in a long barrel. Much more uniform SD and ES and way better at long range. Even there I'd rather have the 300 RUM with a 230 Berger or the 338 RUM with a 300 Berger. The larger calibers have longer barrel life and with even higher BC, heavier bullets, more downrange killing power. [/QUOTE]
