[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2986008, member: 125590"] One bullet for all your applications probably isn't the best option. Keeping the AR's to 2.800" COAL for the magazine, i'd probably recommend something in the 120-130gr weight. Maybe 140gr. Any heavier and the longer bullet gets pushed way into the casing. As for the 7mm Rem Mag, it would depend on your freebore and magazine length. Again, short magazine length will push a heavy bullet far into the case. As far as rifling twist goes. Even the 1:10 twist on my Weatherby Mark V lets me shoot up to the 175gr bullets. Mostly though, for that & my 7mm Rem Mag i shoot 150-168gr bullets. I don't know why you would think a 7mm Mauser wouldn't be as accurate as a 7mm-08? Would depend on the rifle and shooter. Daughter is using 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips in the 7mm Mauser i built for her. [/QUOTE]
