[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3076535, member: 10755"] When I worked at a major gun store here as a full time gunsmith, we played with several chamberings on the STW case, it filled nicely and 6.5mm was the smallest we could get to work without dented shoulders and other weird pressure events. Did the same on the 300WSM case from 6mm to 338, the 25 was my favourite. Then the RUM came along. We got several stainless SPS REM 700’s in, most were 300, but 2 were 7 RUM. I bought one to fool around with, we had access to the 3 levels of factory ammo power levels and had no reloading data, so we experimented trying to duplicate the factory fodder. Dented shoulders, sooted cases to the extraction groove prevailed and the barrel was toast in less than 500 rounds… This is why I don’t like the 7RUM, too much of a good thing, and I think Remington new this. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
