[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1665772, member: 103919"] Keeping your bolt face the same, I would do a 280AI. I've shot with a friend and his 280AI did everything my 7WSM did but just needed a smidge more elevation. If you want to go a bit lighter, I've fallen in love with my 6.5 Addiction which would work great on a long action. I didn't have to open up my bolt face on my Sako. 147 ELD at 2900 with 4831 or 2975 with RL 26 (still working on refining this load and testing, but that's where the velocity node was) from a 24" barrel. I have a similar rifle with sentimental value (the 7WSM mentioned above). I plan on using it for a 7RM. I had one for about 10 years and it was a great hunting round. Then I had that rifle changed over to 338WM. That's a good round, but for deer size critters I think the 7RM is better. [/QUOTE]
