[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1038488, member: 48043"] I've had 3 7rems and none would do much better than 3,000 fps with a 160 and 2850 fps with a 175 ish bullet. You are gaining enough capacity with the long throat that you are around 7-300 capacity and no longer a regular 7rem. I think the bigger 7mm's (7rem and up) are some of the best cartridges for deer size game, but they don't shine with the heavies like the 30's and above. As I've stated before, I'd rather take the bigger case capacity and run milder loads than push the small rifle to the point where you only get 2-3 firings on the brass. I've got 2 7rem die sets, a bunch of brass, and some loaded ammo, but no 7rem at present. I'll likely own another in the future, but I won't push the rifle. [/QUOTE]
