[QUOTE="southpa, post: 3050936, member: 65823"] Wow that escalated quickly. As you can tell everyone has opinions and most of them are just that. The guy doesn't want a 7prc or a 280. He's said 180s are what he wants to shoot. Stop telling him he doesn't need 180s or he should ditch the 7mag cuz it has a belted cartridge and only "special" gunsmiths know how to cut those chambers. This is all hogwash. OP, the 7mag is a fine choice. It's been doing it for decades as you know. 8T is perfect for 180s (8.4ish twist for 180s and below, 8 twist for 180s and up generally). I've seen a number of Shilens shoot lights out, run it with freebore if you wanna shoot 180s for best results but you don't need to like others claim. I have several SAAMI 7mags 24"-26" and they shoot 180s past 3000fps. [/QUOTE]
