[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2653114, member: 120719"] As many have replied, I'd go 7mm rem mag. In fact, I am in the process of doing so. After having some odd balls through the years, I appreciate ability to find high quality components at going rate prices. And since time is often scarce for me these days, I appreciate the option, if need be, to run factory ammo. One thing I never cared for in the STW and other long rounds is the lack of additional COAL. A 7mm rem mag in a 700 offers plenty of latitude to run heavies and chase lands without any modifications. Also, other actions/mags can be modified to fit greater COAL on a 3.34 cartridge. I've had a couple of stock Big Green 7mm rem mags through the years, and despite the less than ideal 1:9.5 twist, they all shot 175's well, even near sea level. IMO, a 175 .284 at full capacity 7mm rem mag velocities will handle well the vast majority of game animals out to as far as I care to take a shot. [/QUOTE]
