[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2047612, member: 115819"] Honestly one reason I haven't been very interested in a saum is that if I want to go play like a big boy the rem mag is so much easier to buy for. Brass and dies are easy to get and entire rifles can be had for really reasonable money, at least where I live. As of this morning between there are at least 20 available within two hours of me, new or scoped and slightly used for under 600. Win 70, several howas, every flavor of savage, three brownings, etc. I'm not against a magnum, I just don't think I want to pay to feed it and deal with a 1k round barrel. That said, I'd be really curious to hear if anyone has ever run a 7 rem downloaded a bunch for barrel life and powder savings. It looks like to get within my criteria I'd be loading down around starting loads, 65 to 80 percent fill, which just sounds like a recipe for problems. Maybe not. I haven't found enough information yet on downloading to overcome the warnings about pressure spikes and irregular ignition. Anyone ever done that with a 7mag or others? [/QUOTE]
