[QUOTE="Montucky Roamer, post: 2681998, member: 100692"] With a short action , your better off with the saum case, a touch shorter so it actually fits in a short action with fairly long ,high BC bullets. If your fine with short bullets then disregard and do a wsm. The 6.8 western is basically a shortened 270wsm, so that too will be a good option, although brass options might suck. I usually base my build around what bullet I want to send at what speed and build from there. I also REALLY value quality brass. ADG, Alpha for small cartridges, Lapua and Peterson, if one of them don't make brass for it, I'm not too interested. Oh, and find and buy enough brass to shoot the barrel out or last decades, whichever comes first. Say 200 brass for a 7 saum is enough. [/QUOTE]
