[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2578455, member: 106514"] No, it is an improvement over the 7 Mag for sure, but not the dramatic improvement anticipated. Basically, you can think of it as an improved (lengthened body and neck) 7mm WSM. You have 2 or 3 grains more case capacity than the 7 Mag plus it operates at 65,000 PSI like the WSM. Of course, with more pressure and blast comes less barrel life, but if you're not a competitive shooter that practices with hundreds of rounds a year, you'll never wear it out unless you're invaded by herds of antelope. Rest easy and enjoy your new rifle. It will be the head of the "short Mag" class... even though it's length kind of puts it in no-man's land as far as action length. It is an ideal candidate for an "XM" length action you'd use for a 6.5x284 or short mag you had throated to seat long bullets. Too longbfor a short action, for sure, if you're going to run anything longer than a 140 and try to reach the lands. [/QUOTE]
