[QUOTE="B23, post: 1249440, member: 13222"] Anyone considering a 7mm build here is another to consider, the 7mm Blaser Magnum. I wanted something that was load and go with no case forming of any kind and had good quality brass that was available, would work well in the M700 LA I would be using, and didn't want anything longer than a 24-26 in. tube max not including brake. Briefly considered a 7 WSM or 7 Rem Mag but available brass for the WSM isn't very good, I'm no particular fan of belted cases and staying with a 24-26 in. tube I didn't really see the 28 Nosler as a very good option. Looking through the list of different .28 cal cartridges in my QL program I stumble upon the 7mm Blaser Magnum. Did a quick Google search and found brass was easily available and was made by Norma. Contacted my "go to" gunsmith, Shawn Carlock w/Defensive Edge and with his blessing proceeded forward. That was in Aug. Shawn called last week and said it was done and ready to pick up. You gotta love the short build times from the boys at Defensive Edge. 7mm Blaser Magnum +P Build Specs: Rem 700 Long Action Hart #4 Fluted 1-8tw Finished at 26 Jewel Trigger Defensive Edge Muzzle Brake Defensive Edge +P chambering NF 5.5-22x50 7mm Blaser Magnum Case Specs: Case Length 2.35 C.O.A.L 3.265 w/180 Berger touching Case Head .535 (Standard Magnum Bolt Face) Case capacity 84.8gr of water Shawn did a quick load work up using RL26 and 180 Berger HVLD's and got 3050 with no pressure. I believe he ran it up to 3100 and was getting a very faint ejector swipe. With the 3050 load he shot a 5 shot group that measured .3 [/QUOTE]
