Im looking between the AIAW 300WM or 338 Lapua. Now Im feeling the 7mm might be a better round. I could get a custom 7mm in an AI stock?
Will be used for paper and steel
thanks

I say go 7mm, unless you can regularly shoot beyond 1000 yards; Then get 338LM.
I've been considering the .284, 7mm SAUM and 7-300 WSM instead of the 338LM for the next caliber for my DTA SRS b/c I don't have the ability to shoot far enough to make the 338 a worthwhile choice.

I do not have a 7 rum but I have a 7-08, 300rum and an HS 338LM and past 1200 the Lapua rules here in the windy Oklahoma panhandle.

True. My point is that the capabilities of the 338LM are under utilized at less than 1000 yards, and a 7mm would better match that situation.
However, as I well know, these decisions are rarely rational, and bigger gun = bigger smile.

My shooting max would be 1000yd. so Its seem 7.08 would be choice

7wsm or Saum in long action would be my chioce. Much less expensive and real good ballistics well past 1000. Good luck

7RM is a hammer at 1000. 168 gr Berger at 3050 fps. Mine is a Sendero type with a brake. Recoil is comparable to a 243 varmit rifle. My 11 year old daughter shoots it quite well.

Like 260 shooter, I have a 7RM with several hundred rounds thru it (26"HB, no brake, HS tac stock, NF scope). Have been using the 168gr Berger for awhile, prior to that 168gr Sierras.

AI AWSM 338 lapua with 20" barrel shoots 300 grain smk's at 2650 fps. It is a sledge hammer at 1k and beyond.
