[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 255496, member: 2736"] The 7mm RUM is about the flattest shooting factory round on the planet and any time you have a large overbored case you will have a somewhat finicky round . But just like a hotrod engine it can be made to perform with some good bullet and powder combinations. I like to load 99 to 100% load density with all loads especialy the cases with 100+ grain case capacities. Also heavy long barrels work best in the big cases. The bigger the barrel normaly the less finicky they are. The main advantage of the big 7mm is it's ability to handel the heavest bullets better. Lets say you want to shoot 1000 yards. the 7 Rum will push a 175gr bullet 20" flatter than a 7 Rem mag can push a 160gr bullet an deliver 160 ft/lbs more energy . I have a sporter weight #4 conture 7 RUM that shoots consistantly in the .400 range and one of these days I will build one with a heavy( #7 ) 28" barrel just to see how well it will shoot.
