I'm with BobinNH on the 7 Rem Mag. It may have some drawbacks but it's not a total loser. I've had a few of them. My current one has no problem getting 140's to 3300 with Rel22 or H4831sc and it's Rel25/160 Accubond load would probably average near 3000, I've never done the math. This is a factory 700 24" barrel.
The only drawback it really suffers from is lack of kool
I think the drawback for me is the 7mm Rem has been a disappointing cartridge for me. I always walk away from it thinking why don't I just use a .270? I am currently shooting 150 NPTs out of my 24" .270 and with RL26 getting 3000 fps and good accuracy without pushing hard. I have had difficulty getting a 7mm Rem to do much better but others have more experience with it and get it to do more.
Will it work on game? Absolutely. I'm just not enamored.
