BobinNH - thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. I came to the same conclusion - that I personally shoot the 7mm RM better than I do the .300 Win Mag, and that it does all that I need in a flat shooting mid-size magnum. I'm loading it with 160 Nosler Partitions at 3050 fps, a Ruger Number One. I've only shot one big bull elk, but the 7mm RM/Nosler Partition had no trouble dealing with that challenge.

Regards, Guy
