7mm sherman max

[elkaholic]

With all the latest medium length actions becoming popular and T3 Tikkas making great intermediate builds, what would you guys think of an EFFICIENT 3.1" round that would run a 180 near 3100' out of a 26" barrel and a 195 near 3000'.

Id say I have a tikka in 7mm-08 that needs an upgrade.

Like an A.I. In fact you could use factory ammo in your chamber. It would have wsm, or better, performance with a lot better brass.

Ummm...yes please.

How would that compare to the 7mm Blaser case?

Shorter, fatter and more efficient.
Capacity around 77 grains

So closer to 7wsm than the saum, but better case design and longer neck than 7wsm? So kinda a 7saum/wsm/ss hybrid?

That pretty well sums it up!
I'M debating whether or not to do it with the SS performing so we'll in the short action but with the medium action, I know there is more performance to be gained!

**** it!
Why didn't you do this last year before I built my 7-300 WSM
Tikka's make awesome build platforms, especially with companies like McGowen making "Tikkage" prefits
