[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1781893, member: 3728"] Short fat cases present feeding problems when trying to adapt them to a standard length magnum action. For this reason, I recommended that you contact Alex Wheeler. For a common sense application, sticking to a 7 RM makes a Ton sense! If you need a back up build, a Remington 30/06 length action with a 284 Winchester will lope the 180g Berger Hunting along at 2850, easy to tune, no feeding issues, great brass available...easy peasy! You can push the 284 to 2950 fps with R#17, and Lapua brass sure takes the pressure! Limiting your shots to 600-700 gives you a LOT more choices! I hope you will not over look the Nosler 175g LRAB, BC is great, and this bullet does penetrate and knock the Heck out of deer! I sort them by ogive length, and they produce some very small groups! This is a hobby and you have to figure out what you like. I would not opt for a Short cartridge to save 4g of powder and add the aggrivation and cost of conversion to feed a short case. Also, the 7 RM will accurately shoot the 160-165g bullets at 3200 fps out of a 28" barrel, R#26 with Fed 215's....run a chart on this! [/QUOTE]
