[QUOTE="B23, post: 1665697, member: 13222"] Since you are using a 24in tube I'd go with the larger bore diameter of the 7mm over the 264. I don't have a 7mm Rem mag but I have a 7mm Blaser Mag which is nearly the exact same size case capacity as the 7mm Rem but the case is a little shorter, fatter, and doesn't have a belt. Personally, I hate belted cases, but to each their own. The 7mm Rem mag, 7mm Blaser mag, and 7 WSM, at reasonable pressures, all shoot relatively about the same speed. I'm using RL26 w/180gr Berger's and from my Hart #4 finished at 26 inches barrel I get 3088-3100fps. If it had a 24 inch tube I suspect the same load would be right around 3000fps. As an option, If a person was looking to build a fairly light 7mm/.284 cal hunting rifle with a 24in tube I'd take a good look at the 7 WSM or 7 SAUM and build it on a short action. [/QUOTE]
