What I mean by in the real world is what can the hunter do with the 7RUM that he can not do with the 7MM Rem Mag? Is the 7RUM in a different class for big game? Can hardly anyone get a worth while bennifit from the few hundred fps difference? I don't think so. While I owned both, there just was no real difference in what I used the two rifles for. Thus being the case, why did I need the extra recoil and barrel errosion? If a guy wants one, they are out there. Maybe you can find a use for the extra velocity. I couldn't they are both suitable for NA game. While there is a little more difference yet, a decent hunter can do the same with a 280.
