[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2353540, member: 66917"] The SAAMI COAL is 2.955. So if your building a SAAMI rifle no matter which bullet you hand 2.955 limit. I would suggest using a medium length or long action so you are not limited to 2.955. On my build I used an Defiance XM to allow COALs out to 3.2 inches and had the lead in the chamber cut to put the base of the 147 ELDM just above the neck shoulder junction when it hit the lands. The 153 and 156 Berger's didn't exist at the time. On recoil I'd say my rifle is around a 7mm/08 shooting 140s. My favorite bullet is the Berger 156 EOL with H1000. It has killed 4 Coues bucks and 18 head of African game so far. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on Elk. [/QUOTE]
