[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 851312, member: 30902"] You just identified the biggest reason to go with the STW over the Rum or other larger case 7's. gun) I really don't find the STW to have significantly greater recoil than the 7rem and have put literally tens of thousands of rounds through the two calibers over the last thirty years. If you look at felt recoil calculators you see that felt recoil goes up dramatically and exponentially with equal weight bullets as your powder charge increases. I know there are guys who are in love with the Rum and that's fine for them, but between the reduced barrel life and greater muzzle blast and recoil from the Rum for such a minimal gain in velocity I simply feel like the Rum is not worth it. I think you reach the point where the law of diminishing returns kicks in when you hit the STW for 7mm's. [/QUOTE]
