[QUOTE="AK4900PA, post: 717519, member: 26297"] I came to pretty much the same conclusion. I'm not overly concerned with factory offerings since I do intend to handload once life settles down (im in the process of relocating out of state right now). I also checked midway and was looking at the corbon loads. I ran some numbers on hornadys ballistics calculator and the 7wsm load minus 250fps to account for the short barrel gave almost identical drop/drift as corbons 7/08 168gr load out of a full length barrel. That seems like a reasonable compromise to me in exchange for the portability of having a rifle I could throw in a backpack.:D [/QUOTE]
