[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2667698, member: 94543"] I just don’t understand the need for 3k fps with a 180. My 7saum with a 20” barrel is spitting 180eldms at 2780 (going to back down to 2750). At Colorado hunting elevations I’m carrying 1500ft/lbs a ridiculously long way. Over 1300 yards where I rifle hunted this fall. 20” barrel with a suppressor is a hoot to shoot, recoil is mild at 2780fps and it’s hearing safe, the only sound I remember seems to be the “thwap” of that 180 hitting hide. I love that sound. In a tikka setup, find a long action stock, swap the bolt stop and get a standard length mag and go to town. You can seat them as long as you could ever want. [/QUOTE]
