[QUOTE="craigp40, post: 66663, member: 3327"] Brad, I was faced with nearly the exact same decision a few weeks ago. Mine was a M70 300WM. I already have a 300RUM and wanted something else with less recoil that I could have fun shooting during extended long range sessions. I also didn't want to change my bolt face. That really narrowed down what I could have. For my requirements, that essentially left me with the 264 Win Mag and 7mm RM. The WSMs could have been done, but feeding problems using them on a long action were inherent. After looking at recoil numbers and bullet selection, I went with the 7 RM. They are making some really impressive bullets for this caliber nowadays. I haven't gotten the rifle back yet, but I'm gonna try the 175 SMKs, 168 SMKs and 162 A-Max. Check out some the of the ballistics on these bullets and you'll see they are competing quite well with the 30s. [/QUOTE]
