[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1187371, member: 74902"] For a "mountain" rifle for sheep/elk/deer, I would go with a short action in 6.5 SAUM or 300 WSM. The Nosler 28 burns about 18 grains more powder than a 7mm Mag, so you could expect to see increased recoil and less barrel life than a 7mm Mag. The 6.5 SAUM and 300 WSM are proving to be better for barrel life. You could also check into the 7MM SS and 6.5 SS (Sherman Short Mag) from a guy who goes by Elkaholic on the board. They get good numbers on speed and barrel life too. [/QUOTE]
