[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2468731, member: 103303"] Ya, a couple of companies make aftermarket bottom metal for tikkas, or of course with a chassis - you can get ~3.5" out of an aics mag. While the 7mm Rem Mag has great potential, factory ammo often fails to achieve claimed velocities. Sometimes by a lot. Some have claimed that factory ammo has been 'detuned' over time - I'm not sure about that, but I do know running 7rm factory ammo a chrony can be disappointing. Shooting elk at 500yd with factory ammo and a 20" bbl, I would probably go 300 WSM. Mainly because factory ammo for the 300WSM has performed to a very high level, for me. Both in terms of velocity and accuracy. I took a reloading hiatus for the better part of a decade. Factory ammo made sense at the time due to limited time and space. Happy to be back at the press in a shop of my own! Got some components in the mail yesterday and am excited to finally proceed with a fast twist, long action 270 WSM (on a stainless Tikka action as well) [/QUOTE]
