[QUOTE="TBuckus, post: 1678365, member: 49491"] I’m having second thoughts on my build. The 7mm barrel is sitting at the gunsmiths. Need to head over there next week. Got a donor t3x 270 for a 7mm build. 280ai was the plan. But now I’m thinking of turning my Tikka 300wsm into a 7mm and turning the 270 into a 338-06. I was planning on getting a new barrel for the 300 anyway since the factory one isn’t ideal for shortening for a suppressor. (It can be done, but not sure how well it will shoot) Reasoning? 338-06 for western Oregon short range elk/bear 7mmWSM for deer/elk- compared to a 280ai, recoil/velocity/energy should be pretty similar depending on how I reload [/QUOTE]
