[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2655284, member: 69478"] I have a .284 Win chambered with the Norma Match reamer with 0.208 Freebore. Mine is built on a Remington 700 long action and my OAL with 175gr Berger Elite Hunters is around 3.170”. I think if you ran 162-168s you could fit them inside 2.970” OAL and not have too much bullet stuffed down in the case. I have a 26” barrel and push the 175s to 2820-2840 comfortably. I have gotten them up to 2900 without pressure using IMR 4451, RL26, and RL23 but they shot better around that 2820 range. I think with a 20-22” barrel you could get 2800+ FPS with 162-168s using one of the powders I mentioned above or something like RL16. Personally, if I was limited to that mag length, I would be looking at something like a 7mm-08 Ackley Improved or 7mm SAW. They’ll take full advantage of your magazine length without bullets being seated way down in the case. You also have Alpha brass for the 7mm SAW and for the 7-08 AI you can get Lapua, Peterson, and Alpha 7-08 brass and just fireform it when breaking in the barrel and getting your first 100-200 shots down the new barrel. Either one of those will be able to get 2700+ with 162-168s in a 20-22” barrel. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
