[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1895760, member: 108965"] Talk you out of a 7 Rem mag? Not happening. I am die hard fan of the 7mm caliber. I've used the 7mm-08 for 30+ years. I've also used the 280 Rem for a while. On the 7mm caliber I now have three 7mm-08's and one 7mm Rem Mag. I love the 7mm-08, no recoil, fun to shoot, reloading components everywhere and can reach out to 500m no problem. But the 7mm Rem Mag simply does what the 7mm-08, 280 Rem and 280 AI do but better. Yes the 280 AI is a wonderful cartridge but its not a 7mm Rem Mag nor will it be. For Hunting you can reach out to 800 yds with it and with authority, and for steel way further. Now in your case you might not shoot that far but if the need were to come up you are covered. Brass is readily available and no fireforming required. Belt? It has never been a problem. With the twist rate on your barrel you can shoot heavies and I would keep it at 26". So No, I can't talk you out of it ;) [/QUOTE]
