[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 727493, member: 2736"] I personally would not use a #2 for anything larger than a 223. A #4 weighs only 8oz more than a #2 for the 7mm xxxxx I would recomend a #4 @ 24" and a #3 for 22'' If you are looking for something like a 7mm Rem Mag (Long action) a 7 WSM or a 7 SAUM would be the ballistic equal in a short action and a 22'' or 23'' barrel would be fine and the shorter cartrige would give you a little more bore length with the same overall barrel length. Because of it,s case length the 7mm Rem Mag needs and can use a 26'' barrel. The Short mags can do with less barrel because the powder collum is shorter and uses slightly faster powder. : Note = I am using the Lilja contour charts for size and weights. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
