A 160g Accubond, partition, 162 eldx, or 168g Berger hunting at 3200 is a world class set up.
Who cares about what's "practical" when you are building a wildcat rifle? A 7mm Rem mag or a 28 nosler would be more practical. If the man wants a 7mm Practical then get one. It is a good caliber and easy to deal with. You could load for it with just a Hornady Neck sizer die for a 7mm Remington magnum and a seater die. It will work if you read what Nathan Forster has written about it.
It is his choice and some find true wildcats fun. The fact is the "practical" only slightly changes the shoulder angle and causes a huge hassle finding GOOD dies. The 7-300 win will be nearly identical case capacity with a regular set of dies available everywhere. Both the "Practical" and the 7-300 fill a nice void between the 28 Nosler and 7 Rem mag. My 7-300s actually matched my 28 Nosler with 180s and 5 grains less powder. I will personally never own another 28 Nosler. It is a throat eater. The op obviously gets to pick what he spends his money on. I was simply asking a question and making a suggestion.
You can NOT bump the shoulder with a 7mm Rem mag die. His shoulder angle is 30 degrees the 7 rem mag is 25. I have been down this road. Exactly why I chose the 7-300 win mag and Redding 300 win mag dies. Lee dies are also terrible. I think you will enjoy the cartridge but the straight 7-300 will do exactly the same thing easier. Good luck to both of you.

Out of curiosity what kind of barrel life and velocities are you getting? I'm assuming you're 180 gr or heavier. TIA.
Judging throat wear I would say 800-1000 rounds. Most likely the shorter side. I sold the rifle. It had two barrels. I don't remember the round count of the higher count barrel and the second barrel had less than 100.
