[QUOTE="Texas Longshot, post: 1391364, member: 89580"] I’m sure there are several threads on this. But with that being said here I go. I have a Remington 700 ss chambered in 7mm Rum. With a Zeiss HD5 5-25x50. I’m wanting to rebarrel it with a Proof Research Carbon barrel in 28”. With 7 Rum brass being harder and harder to find, the question I can’t seem to answer for myself is what caliber? I keep going back in forth on several. 28 nosler, 300 Rum, 33 nosler, 338 Rum and so on. Also I know increasing the barrel length 2” will increase velocity some, but how much should I reasonably expect and how does that effect barrel life? The rifle will be mainly be used to hunt elk in northern Colorado. Where I hunt your shots are normally 250-600 yards. [/QUOTE]
