[QUOTE="yellowdog, post: 185769, member: 7588"] Info for thought: 7MM RUM; Drop in inches at 300 yards based on a 200-yard zero. Keep in mind these are factory rounds; Energy in ft.-lbs 2215, Drop 2.7", Recoil 28.3. does'nt get much flatter than that from factory loads. I've got my own home remedies that do better than that. Yes this is a finicky round to load, but when you find the right ingredients it's nothing short of awsome. As far as being overbore, yes it is, it is suppose to be, as is the 300 RUM. Lazzeroni's 7.21 Firebird is more overbore than the Remington 7MM RUM cartridge, and is the only one that exceeds it in performance as far as fps. As far as accuracy, I get 1/2" MOA out of my factory rifle with my hand loads. one more thing fellas, you can get well over 1000 rounds out of this cartridge before you see spred in groups. 1000 rounds may not sound like much, but for an Ultra Mag it is, and It's more of a hunting caliber anyway.
