You bump into these "most popular" and "most ammo sales" numbers here and there all the time and the cartridge is consistently somewhere in the top ten,although it can sometimes be tough to find ammo manufacturers sales numbers.

In the realm of BG cartridges I have never seen the 7RM listed outside the top ten. It's not speculation. You can Google it.



I trolled around for awhile trying to find numbers but my search skills are limited. I did bump into this from another website. Where the numbers came from I have no idea but they are consistent in general for what I have seen for ammo and die sales.
