[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2870313, member: 52585"] What's your distance goals? The 7s are great but a little light for ELR. Pushed around by the wind and hard to spot the splash when you miss. If not interested in a ELR regular such a 375 or 40 then I'd be looking at a big 30 or 338. The other downside to 7s above a RM is the barrel burn rate. If I were building a mid sized ELR rig it would be somewhere between 338wm and edge capacity. I'm currently building a 30-28 nosler hunting rig and feel like that or a 33-28 nosler would be a great option. Of course the good Ole 338 lapua would be hard to beat. I'd opt for the AI version throated / twisted for 300s were it me. Brass and bullets are not impossible to find, decent powder selections and great brass life from both. [/QUOTE]
