[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 2340121, member: 13833"] The Mega runs easily at 3180 with the 175 EH (26") barrel, and has 8 firings on the brass and still going. Iv run it past 3200' without brass issues. Lets say you lose 30'/inch, which is my best guess based on the ss and Max which are less. That would put you at 3000. Thats with N570 so MAYBE knock off some more. Bottom line is the MEGA should run around 3000' with a 180 class. A Nosler should beat it, but not by a lot! The MEGA case is 2.16" and has 84 grain h20 capacity so it will have less recoil and much better barrel life, which you've said isn't a big factor. It has a .334" long neck, which is a plus, and of course the 40 degree shoulder. It will run on a mid length 3.2' action, or a LA if you want. Lots of good options! Good luck with your build:) [/QUOTE]
