[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 849809, member: 12995"] Actually, we're talking 15-20gr of powder difference and about 500+ shots less barrel life. There are several guys out there getting 1,500 rounds out of their STW's. I'd be willing to guess the average is probably more like ~1200 rounds. One of which, Lefty7mmSTW, is a member here. Maybe he'll chime in... 7RUM's usually don't average more than ~800 rounds of barrel life before the throat is cracked, burnt, and trashed. They are both barrel burners, but to lose that extra 400+ rounds of barrel life for a gain of 80-100 fps is not worth it to me. Once again, just my opinion. Everyone has a different one. If I get a great shooting rifle, I don't want to have to start over from scratch after only 800 shots down the tube. But that's another of my personal reasons I won't own a 7RUM. [/QUOTE]
