[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 251406, member: 5219"] Thanks Jeff, I figure I'll get 3050 with a 30" barrel and the 7 Rem Mag with 180 VLDs. Unfortunately Lilja only offers a 1 in 7 for the barrel my friend and I ordered. He said it would work fine. I figure it might take some speed from the package. If I were to begin from scratch I would seriously consider making a heavy 284 to shoot the 180 VLDs. Now that RL-17 has redefined things it would be a great package with some good barrel life. Personally I had a 7 RUM Sendaro and it was a screamer with moly'ed 140s, very accurate too. Unfortunately it didn't respond to VLDs so it was moved along. My 300 RUM doesn't like VLDs either but it does thrive on the .588 BC 200 Accubond. My friend had Dave Kiff make a 7 RUM reamer that is supposed to be designed for the VLDs. I suppose one of these days I'll make a 7 RUM when the 300 RUM gets tired. I really like the 7 RUM brass and the concept of a beltless mag case that utilizes all the space that a 2.8" case can offer and still work in factory actions. 7mms have come a long way and there are a ton of options these days. Fun to dream of the next one....... [/QUOTE]
