[QUOTE="Lostsheep, post: 22002, member: 288"] Chances are that with a 280, you are going to run into recoil and flinching related problems over the course of a match. Another problem that you might encounter by trying a 7mm is a lack of good custom made bullets. The only ones I know of are 115g from starke, and those would be unlikely to shoot very well from your 1/10 twist barrell. If you are really dead set on using your 7mm barrel for HBR, then I would suggest that you rechamber the thing to 7-08. This cartridge has many advantages over the 280. Reduced recoil. It also has just about the perfect case capacity to drive the 150 or 130 sierra matchkings. And there is also Laupa brass in .308 that can be simply necked down. Im not trying to say that what you want to do is imposible, just that there may be a better way. Tango Kilo out. [/QUOTE]
