[QUOTE="ceard, post: 3048194, member: 128297"] I was looking into 7-300PRC and saw a thread here on the 7 Sherman Mega, but I have yet to find the COAL on 185s-195s also there is a lot of conflicting velocity data it seems. The internal of the max length for factory S20 mags is 3.61 so I need to stay within that, and I want a round that keeps the back of the bullet from sitting in the powder collum like the 28 Nosler sits with longer rounds. I called ADG about brass but haven't received a message back. I am not terribly worried about barrel life, but I want to get 1000rounds if possible. I read a few places that the Shermans don't run though barrels due to the 40° shoulder and I don't want to be putting a new barrel on in less than a year's span. And realistically I could see shooting 500-1000 a year. As for hunting I don't currently have access to anywhere with any further than 500y. there may be some further if I cleared some lanes, but I don't have time to do all that and I don't need to take long shot to get a deer here if I am patient. Only time I would take a shot that far is if one of the few large older deer we have decided to walk out. I will mostly be shooting paper and steel at 500-1000 and then once a month or so at 1600y. If necking down 300wsm is not worth it, then there's no reason for me to go with the 7-300wsm because the reason I started looking at it was the fact that I have a decent amount of brass for it now.
