[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1388742, member: 55230"] The thought of a short mag sounds punishing. I do reload, and I do have a 300wm for long range work. This project is for a more manageable weighted rifle that’ll be used for short to mid range. I like the CM now that it has Lapua brass. I have a feeling 150gr lrab’s will be about the limit for the 7-08 in SA of 2.85”. Roughly speaking I see the cm as a 4-500yd elk gun and 6-700yd deer gun. Will the extra powder of a magnum be utilized in a short barrel?? And is the increase recoil going to be worth it? What’s the heaviest bullet I can run in 708 and keep bearing surface above the neck/shoulder? What’s the going rate on SS brass? [/QUOTE]
