The Remington ultra mags are a little behind now in cartridge design.

Look at the .300 prc like Chat said or the .300 Norma and maybe the .30 Nosler.

If you load, and you will want to with any of those cartridges, the Norma would be my choice. If not You might be well served to get you ammo from a custom ammo maker like Unknown Ammunitions.

The reason I bring up the 7 RUM is because my dad passed this particular gun down to me. I’ve used it on a few hunts. Outstanding gun.

The only time I’m firing my large caliber rifles is to check if they’re still on and to hunt. The other day at the range there were 2 fellas who obviously spend lots of time on the range. They were begging me to sell them this gun. They were saying once out past 300 yards the 7mm RUM is carrying more energy and not nearly the drop at that range compared to some of the souped up .30 cal guns. Is this true or bullshite.

Just curious because I don’t spend much time at the range other shooting my ARs or handguns

Thanks
