[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2935864, member: 116181"] I have all three, there's really nothing one does that the others can't also do. I have barrels ranging from a 14" XP-100 out to a 26" rifle, so velocities are more dependent on length that capacity for me so far. They're all turn-key cartridges that dies exist for, nothing special to do for any of them except load and shoot. I might give a slight edge to the SAW since the Alpha brass is fully formed, and WTO sells Redding Type S dies. 7-08 AI would take the first shot to pop it out, NBD to me but one small tick mark against it vs the SAW. 7-08 is nothing special to me me in general, but I shoot very few SAAMI chambers - almost everything I make is improved in at least the "AI" sense of the word. Standard stuff is boring. But I couldn't pass up a Kimber 84M that is a fantastic little ultra light rifle. I got the SAW II reamer with the longer throat, it'll probably be too long to mag feed the longest 7mm bullets from a short action but there are enough lighter bullets in 7mm for these standard bolt face cases. If I want to launch195 Bergers then 7SS, 7RUM, 28 Nosler, etc are better platforms IMO. [/QUOTE]
