[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 913299, member: 69478"] You could also use the .300 WIN Mag as a parent case, though this could be a problem with its short neck, which could be fixed. The plain old 7mm REM Mag would be a good canidate, if its neck was lengthened. Brass is a lot easier to find for these than the 7mm LRM. The problem is, the .270 Weatherby Magnum would be the same as one of these wildcats, that I mentioned. I feel like the .375 Ruger which is the 7mm LRM parent case, may be too overbore. The .270cal is at max with a medium sized magnum case. After that I feel you burn too much powder with little gains in velocity and barrel life depletes quickly. It sure would be cool though to have a capable 1000yd elk killer. that was .270cal! [/QUOTE]
