[QUOTE="IdahoHunter208, post: 1678306, member: 110646"] I just purchased a sweet little custom setup and need some help figuring out what 7mm/.284 cartridge I want to chamber my rifle in and what bottom metal to do. Specs: Action: BigHorn SR3 Long Action Magnum BF. Wyatts cut Stock: Manners EH1 inlet for Bartlein 3B contour, Hawkins BDL cutout Barrel: .284/7mm Bartlein 3B 1:9 twist 26in Trigger: most likely trigger tech Bottom metal: ??? Caliber: ??? I need help on a light weight bottom metal that will work (EH1 stock has hawkins BDL cutout) and figuring out what to chamber the barrel in. I don't have any 7mm reloading equipment so I will be getting dies and all that jazz. Use: I will be using this rifle for pretty much any size of game from pronghorn to elk. And want the to be confident with an ethical kill out to 1000yards *obviously requires some serious practice so realistically 700-800yrds* (Since it is the SR3 action I hope to, sometime at a later date, get another barrel in 30cal such as 300PRC to swap in and out but that isn't a priority right now.) Options: 7mm rem mag, 28 Nosler, etc... Also could sell the contoured barrel blank and do a 6.5 PRC or similar. But for now focus on .284/7mm magnum cartridges. [/QUOTE]
