[QUOTE="LRH3006, post: 906023, member: 74662"] I just used that user name for lack of thinking of a better name. I don't have a 30-06. I have a 300 win mag and 270 win. I am looking for something a little bigger than the 270 for a backup elk rifle. I was hoping guys would get into a discussion of 7MM-08 vs 280 rem. Barrel life is important. I have heard that a 7 RUM is hard on barrels. I don't know how hard a 7 rem mag is on barrels. I would like to get at least 3000 rounds without having to replace the barrel. Since I would like to use it for target shooting, accuracy is also very important. And by that I mean no bigger than .5" at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
