Compared to the 7mm Remington Magnum, top 7mm RUM loads deliver 25% more energy at 300 yards. [citation needed] Such performance demands a price and in this case, that is a large muzzle blast, sharp recoil and short barrel life. [1] The 7mm Ultra Magnum boasts the largest case of any commercial 7mm cartridge.
These are both more energetic by mass than black powder and can produce higher velocities and pressures. Triple Seven is a volumetric substitute for black powder, and due to its higher velocity, it is recommended to reduce the load by 15%. [11] The carbon-based fuel burned in this case is from the sugar family, not from charcoal.
This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
The 7×61mm Sharpe & Hart Magnum belted cartridge (A.K.A. 7mm S&H Super [1]) was developed by Philip B. Sharpe and Richard (Dick) Hart in the 1950s. Some articles claim it was based on the .300 H&H Magnum case, [1] [2] while others claim it was based on the 7x61 MAS M1907 case.
For ease in loading, a cartridge shape was embossed in the edge of the lid and center of the base to show which way the belt it contained faced (a feature that was later discontinued). It can hold 220 linked or 225 belted 7.62mm NATO rounds in bulk or 2 × 100-round linked belts packed in cartons and carried in bandoleers.

The 7mm Shooting Times Westerner, sometimes referred to as the 7mm STW, began as a wildcat rifle cartridge developed by Layne Simpson, Field Editor of Shooting Times, in 1979. [3] It is an 8mm Remington Magnum case that has been "necked down" (narrowing the case opening) by 1 mm to accept 7 mm (.284 in) bullets. [4]
The .375 Ruger cartridge case was used by Hornady as the basis for new long-range cartridges, since it had the capability to operate with high chamber pressures (65,000 psi (448.16 MPa) P max piezo pressure according to the SAAMI), which combined with a neck and barrel throat optimized for loading relatively long and heavy very-low-drag bullets ...
