[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 962875, member: 33822"] To the OP, directly about a 7mm-300 win mag wildcat compared to the 7LRM, I found a good article on the gunwerks website that talks about some of their design philosophies behind the 7 LRM. Overall I like their approach. Very sensible for an amazing LR cartridge. [url=http://www.gunwerks.com/Long-Range-University/Learning-Articles/gunwerks7LRM]Gunwerks - Gunwerks 7LRM (7mm Long Range Magnum)[/url] And this goes back to some of the interesting points I see with wildcatting the 7mm bullet. As with anything, there is usually a happy balance point followed by a point of diminishing returns. More is not always better. In this LR game we've gotta push as close to the edge as possible without going over that balance point. Where that point is really is up to each individual, but the 7 LRM looks like it's right in the sweet spot. Other cartridges are probably very close as well, but Gunwerks offers a nice package ready to go. Starting a custom build from scratch, I would avoid a 7mm-300 win mag just because of the effort involved in forming the brass, and then you have a longer/thinner cartridge with a belt. Why not start with a more modern design like the 7 LRM, and you can buy brass or fully loaded ammo right from gunwerks (or elsewhere??). Just food for thought. I'm sure others can chime in here as well. [/QUOTE]
