[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 733201, member: 11717"] I've got a 300 RUM Sendero and about 500 rounds down the tube so haven't had a chance to burn one yet, but from the research I did before and after I got it, most reports were in the 1000 round range, if cared for. Sure, you can burn one a lot quicker. Now as for the 7mm RUM, I've read about 500-700 rounds. The WBY has been around longer than the RUM so I'm guessing that has something to do with seeing more on the bench. Also, at that level you're talking differnces in the hundreths vs tenths. There are similarities between the Bench and LR guys, but there are differences too. For the OP, whatever cartridge he decides to go with, if he gets a quality smith and uses quality parts, he'll get a sub 1/2 MOA rig which will be more accurate than he needs for 500 yds plus. I like the 300 WSM too, and shoot 180's out of both the RUM and the WSM, and in fact, that would be my suggestion for a LA Howa and very capable at 500 yds. [/QUOTE]
