[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 819001, member: 12995"] I'm a big 7mm fan....I got your back. I know this is an old thread, but the OP was looking at the 7RUM......Why? That's just gonna burn the hell out of a barrel in about 1,000 shots. Why not weigh all the other options. You said 500-600 yards max and seemed worried that the 7Mag wouldn't be able to perform at that range? I am just curious as to what would make you think it wouldn't be up to the task? You could kill most anything with a 7mm-08 at those ranges. The 7mm RemMag (magnum case) and .280 Ackley Improved (standard case) will both carry you out to 1,000 barely breaking a sweat, and if you went with a 7mm-300 WinMag, 7mm STW, or 7mm RUM you could really reach on out there a good bit beyond 1,000 yards.
