[QUOTE="HooterShooter, post: 100194, member: 5549"] I'll say this. I love the 7mm mags, but I think you will be better off with the 300 RUM than the 7mm RUM. Remington really screwed up making the 7rum, especially when they are the company that made the 7mm STW a factory caliber. I think the first thing that needs to be said is that the 7mm RUM is inferior to the STW. It may be faster, but thats it. The case is inefficient and you won't improve it much over factory loads. Someone earlier said it was "finicky" to load. That's correct. If you do decide to go with a big 7, then get an STW and be done with it. You can find a sendero in that chambering and that is a great rifle. I guess what I'm saying is that you should be deciding between the 7 stw and the 300 RUM. Whatever you do go with the check out the Barnes Triple Shock bullets. Barnes bullets drop critters in their tracks, but in the past have been extremely inaccurate. Triple Shocks are much more accurate than previous barnes especially those blue ones they can out with a few years ago. Second, I would try the accubond. I agree with Meichele, you don't really want a match bullet for elk. You also dont need 1/4" groups to kill big game at the ranges you need. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
