[QUOTE="hhack, post: 775155, member: 52715"] I have a 7/300 win mag and I am running the 168gr at 3150 out of a 25" barrel. It shoots great so far but I haven't had it that long, bout 100 rounds down the tube. My only regret is that I built on a standard 300 win mag length action. I feel to really utilized this cartridge you need to run a magnum length action. I got my best performance when I loaded to a COL of 3.60" and single loaded, but my magazine only allows a COL of 3.34." There is a guy from New Zealand that has a web site that has done a lot of research on a very similar cartridge he called it the 7mm practical which is a 7/300 win mag with a 30 or 35* shoulder and the neck was a little longer. Here is his website [url=http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Resources/Articles/The+7mm+Practical.++A+Practical+Magnum..html]The 7mm Practical. A Practical Magnum.[/url] I would go with one of the big 7mm's if I were you. You won't regret it. [/QUOTE]
