[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1576853, member: 21361"] In trying to add some reasonable input to this question, I am troubled by some "oil and water" statements.The bolt face/action length specs suggest wsm length cartridges to me. You can mitigate recoil with some excellent muzzle brakes and Limbsaver recoil pads, but lets face it if you are going to be using this weapon for hunting you are going to be damaging your eardrums in the field. I have shot and owned some lightweight rifles. They are great to carry, but some weight in rifles is necessary to add some stability, and you speak of really longer range shooting for hunting. I remember long ago being asked about a 7mm magnum for Grizzly bear. When I asked when that shooter was actually going to go grizzly bear hunting, that ended that conversation. I have my own 800 yard range, and I find that most "talltalkers" when faced with a group on paper at 800 tend to be embarrassed. it's always easier to kill with a typewriter or computer. Short answer: there are really excellent, well developed 7mm bullets suitable for any case you wish to use that will fit in your action. [/QUOTE]
