I'm sort of partial to the 7 mils, finding them a good blend in velocity, BC,recoil and stuff falling over. Right now I've got the 7-08 in a Tikka that my daughter shoots, a 7 Rem in a Kimber Select-grade, a 7-300 Win in a Sako/Hart/ McMillan build, 4 STWs; two on M70s, a Cooper Western Classic and a Shilen/Gaillard/ McMillan. Last but not least a 28 Nosler in a Defiance/Carbon McMillan/ Frozen Fiber.

If I were starting over it would likely be 7-300. It seems to be right at the edge of the most powder that should be shoved down a .284 hole, brass is a given, and its a happy marriage with 3.600- 3.700 mag boxes. I can even keep a barrel alive for awhile.

Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.
