[QUOTE="tydaws, post: 2935732, member: 95798"] I think it really just boils down to what you want to do. As Hydra6 mentioned, if you are going to re-barrel anyway to get setup to shoot the heavies (barrel twist, freebore, etc.), I'd go ahead and go the 7 SAW route. I have a 7 SAW II that was built by Clayton & team at WTO. It is a Bartlein 8.5 twist finished at 24". I'm getting 2841 fps with the 160 Accubond & Alpha SRP brass. I worked up that load pretty quick to get prepped for a NM elk hunt & didn't test a whole lot of load combos. Now that the hunt is over, I'm going to go back to the bench and test some 180 eldm loads, per Clayton's recommendation. If you have questions, call Clayton at WTO. Based on my firsthand experience, he is more than happy to answer questions and discuss what will be best for the customer based on their criteria and goals. He is also as good a guy as anyone could ever hope to do business with. He is a big fan of the 7mm-08 too & shot it for years before developing the 7mm SAW. [/QUOTE]
