[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 924948, member: 13632"] Skip the AI and just go with the straight 7mm-300 Win, you can just use regular dies and not have a custom die made. You'd need a reamer or a smith with the reamer, barrel life will not improve over the 7mag but be better than a 7 STW. This makes for an easy gain in performance over the 7 Mag with the 180 Berger, it's got a good balance to it and performs very well. I would also look a the pain old 300 Win mag, if it's built correctly and loaded with the 215 Berger it's very, very capable and you can roll in any were and get factory ammo if needed which may not matter. A 338 RUM does very nice but you've crossed the point were you'll want some weight in it and serious recoil reduction, makes a good long range prone shooter but does not work as easily as an all round rig as does the 7mm-300 Win or 300 Mag and if your worried about cost the big bullets and powder capacity costs!!
