RE: Favorite Magnum Caliber?
ORIGINAL: Ridge Runner
well the stw is pretty awesome, if you remember, remington legitimized the stw, rated it at 3430 fps or so, then a couple years later they introduced the RUM, essentialy the same but in order to boost sales the stw was then cut back to 3300 fps with a 140, I have a custom lilja barreled 7 stw and it sends a 140 downrange at an honest 3550 fps, not many rums run that fast.
But my favorite 7mm magnum cartridge is the 7mm Allen Mag, burns alot of powder, but flat leaves the stw or the rum in the dust, it sends a 160 gr nosler downrange at 3575 fps loaded rather mildly, I've taken deer with it at over 800 yards.

I don't think I've heard of the Allen Mag RR... mind giving us a bit of background on it? Parent case and so forth? Whats it got over the other two fast and flat 7mms? Thanks!

RE: Favorite Magnum Caliber?
Guess I have to say 7mm, since that's about all I own. I have a 7 rem mag, 7 wsm, and a 280 JDJ ( I know; not technically a magnum, but not really a 'regular' round, either)Haven't taken anything with the JDJ yet (and only1 goat with the wsm) so I'd probably have to pick the7 remmag asmy go-to magnum.
I really want to get a 264 mag and something in 338 at some point.
