I am reloading for a Savage 116 7mm mag with 23in factory fluted barrel with factory muzzle brake. I currently load Nosler Accubond and ballistic tip in 140 and 150 grain using imr4350 with excellent results. I want to try the heavier 168gr berger vld hunter classic, my question is should I...

I like the look of the Sendero and the long barrel is a draw but the only thing I know about a Remington is what I have read..
