[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1043366, member: 11132"] 7mm, something off the 284 or short mags cases. 6.5/284 norma necked up ( lapua brass) or shehane again with (lapua brass), 7mm RSAUM (norma) or 7mm/300WSM (Win is you do not mind culling and some extra prep ( flash holes) otherwise Norma even though its soft compared to most everything else, Fed is also an option). I really have zero issues having to form cases, be it press and or fire/hydro forming. After all, unless you are using a case that requires you to push to the ragged max, with some regular annealing they should last a season or two. In fact, I enjoy the task but, I do know some do not have the time or really find it, at best, a necessary evil. But for me I have always enjoyed all aspects of reloading etc. Its almost like meditation. The outside world shuts down much like being behind the trigger but without the stress of a comp. Personally, I would probably run some wild cat 6mm setup for F Class, if I decided to go back to competing (Again for me personally). Get those 105 bergers up to 3300-3400 accuracy node and they beat the 180 7mm@3K in drop by 4" and flight time by a tenth (7% faster to target), but are short 3" for 10mph full value wind all @ 1K. Its a small bit of a disadvantage for wind but recoil is a decent bit less even that of a 7-08. But all said and done that certainly puts it in the hunt as it beats the old king 6.5/284 140 hybrid@3K in both drop and wind. Plus I like to be different.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
