I have a 7mm RM and got to thinking. I have a hunting load that can group 5 shots no bigger than a dime, and figured I could do the same with a match load. I have a .308 to shoot in matches, but is there anything that says I can't use my 7mm RM for matches?
Pros would be: it shoots really well. Can shoot further with the same up MOA adjustment than the .308, since it'll have greater velocity. Shoots flatter than a .308. Components are easier to find for 7mm Rem Mag than .308. My rifle has 1:9 twist, so I could use at least a 168gr bullet.
Con would be: feeling like you're being kicked by a mule 60+ times in a given match.
Any other cons to using a 7mm RM?
Thanks for any and all replies.
