[QUOTE="beartracks, post: 1104622, member: 2235"] My gun was chambered for 168 Bergers, but seems to shoot the A-max and 160 Abonds very well too. I have switched to the Abond for a little tougher bullet for elk, and really like it. However, I always intended to shoot something in the 160-168 weight class and have never even tried a 180 grainer. Given the problems with brass, the 7mm-300WSM sounds like an appealing option. I should mention that my rifle is built on an FN SPR and the magazine length is relatively forgiving for COAL. I'm running the 160 AB about .010" off the lands, and the COAL is 2.980" with plenty of room in the magazine. The bullet still drops a fair distance below the neck FWIW. You might consider your magazine depth vs. 180 grain seating depth. [/QUOTE]
