7RM with 160 gr. NAB over 67 gr. RL-26 at around 3K out of a 26" Sendero was a winner for my hunting bud last year. Lots of game, mostly DRT or DROT (dead right over there).
I did the loads; gun was sub MOA at 400 yds. He was pleased as was his PH. He said he could have sold that rig several times. One fellow hunter even borrowed it for a 300 yd. Impala shot. Boom, plop.
Although a bit heavy, he likes Senderos, has one in .270 for WT's. He said he knows what they'll do when he gets them there, doesn't mind packing them. Hard to argue with success. Ya gotta go with what you have confidence in and can handle well. I've read that outfitters aren't that impressed when a client pulls out a brand new, super stomper magnum. That sorta profiles a client, and not for the better.
