[QUOTE="jasonco, post: 1280204, member: 15637"] I have about the same story after my second 7RM, in the early 90's. I found the Bob Hagel book Game Loads and Practical Ballistics for the American Hunter, and it changed my hunting life. I too wanted a 7mm Mashburn Super Magnum and came to the same conclusion of cost and effort for it. I then read about Layne Simpson's cartridges on the FL 8RM case and found what I was looking for! I bought a Clymer reamer (Also a 358 Shooting times Alaskan) and had my smithy build me one on a Savage 110 I had, with a 27" Shilen heavy contour, with the mag opened up to 3.875" and it's still a shooter this day. Soon to be finally adding a brake. After about 20, 175 SGK under a full charge of H5010, you start to feel it! And everything that I have taken with it is DEAD RIGHT THERE, tracking skills not needed. [/QUOTE]
