It isnt all because of LR hunting, in my case anyway.

Its because I shoot Bergers/Scenars/Amaxs far more than any other bullet.So I have those bullets so wrung/doped out its often what I use for hunting anymore,just because of familiarity.Also found they kill pretty damn efficiently too.

I often forget when making an endorsement that guys aint shooting thousands of rounds a year beyond 500 yards and have no need for such bullets.

If I could take back my earlier recommendation I'd say shoot 145LRX's, the velocity of the 7RM combined with the fast twist would make it a killer trio.
