[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 937843, member: 63138"] stapleen Sounds like you have learned the hard way. Take a look at the 7mm WSM. No belt. Pretty much duplicates the Rem Mag. I'm running the 180 Bergers at 2,950 fps and grouping around 1 inch at 200 yards out of a 26" 4 groove Brux. I get a slightly sticky bolt about one out of 10 rounds so I figure to be right at max load with 69.8 grains of Magnum. The WSM family of cases hold several national accuracy records at 1,000 yards so accuracy potential is first rate. The one caveat is that only Winchester makes brass for the 7mm WSM and it can be hard to come by. On the other had there are many who make 270 WSM brass which can be fire formed up to the slightly longer 7mm WSM. [/QUOTE]
