[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 562398, member: 12282"] I have settled on 7mm to rebarrel my Savage short action. Between WSM or SAUM is all that remains in terms of cartrige decisions I think. But the real issue is figuring out if I can use the very long Berger 180 VLD hunting bullets. I'd like to not end up with a single shot... The new barrel will be throated to a dummy cartridge, so from that standpoint, I can seat the bullet deeper in the case and still get the bullet to sit on the lands, as Berger recomends. But what I am concerned with is the effect on case capacity and accuracy that seating those long bullets might have. In both the 7mm WSM and 7MM SAUM, to get them to feed in a short action will mean that a chunk of boat-tail and bullet will be down in the case. Aside from the obvious loss of case capacity, are there other problems with doing this??? Accuracy? Brass or barrel life? Accuracy is the only one that worries me too much...... [/QUOTE]
