[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 89777, member: 5"] I second what Harv said and also nominate the 7mm AM, but there might be a few problems that you would need to decide on. If you do a search you will see that Kirby has built this round on the Rem 700 action and it works nicely. Manageable in a 10# rifle......... Don't see why not and especially with a Holland QD brake I wouldn't hesitate to shoot one in a 10# gun all day. Mine weighs a little more than that but I've had a 100# woman shoot mine and she liked it better than her 243. The criteria that it work in a magazine can be accomplished, it just depends on how you want to seat the bullet and how you have it throated. The picture of Kirby's below shows the round with the 160 grain Accubond and also with the 200 grain Wildcat ULD RBBT's. The gun I had built is throated for the 200's to be seated way out to take advantage of the case capacity. I will also develop a load that is shorter to be used with the magazine, however the primary useage of the gun is as a single shot.
