[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2659851, member: 121677"] 3050-3100 in a 28N with a throat and magazine long enough isn't a problem with the 195's, and I think that OAL is around 3.700" with good brass. A bit longer won't hurt and much longer won't help. Run the ballistic calculators, see if 100 fps plus for this cartridge or minus 200 for that cartridge makes a meaningful difference. Personally I wouldn't set up for the 195 specifically in a 28N class rifle, I would set up for 180 class bullets AND the 195, so far I haven't see anything I want to do with a 7mm that the 195 does enough better than the 180 to matter, other than say I'm shooting a 195.... Both the 180 class bullets and the 195 are hard to get at times, I would rather have the option to use either. If I built for one specifically I would get a barrel life of bullets on hand before the reamer touched steel..... [/QUOTE]
