I currently have a 7 SAUM in a custom MPA rifle, 1:9 twist CA 24" barrel. It's built on a short action with wyatts extended mag box. This allows me to seat bullets out to 2.990". Does great with the 162 eldm at 2900
I'm thinking when I need a new barrel next year, to upgrade the performance a bit to shoot the heavier 180 eldm or 184 Berger or even the 195 eol. I will need a 1:8 twist and was considering changing the chambering to a 7wsm to get the extra powder to push them easily to 2900-2950?
I know of the 7 Sherman Short as well may do that but not sure if I'm ready to go wildcat, plus the WSM in theory holds more powder anyway.
for those who know will the 2.990" coal give me enough room in the WSM case? Will that be a step up from the SAUM case for the heavies?
