[QUOTE="thunderchicken, post: 420526, member: 12418"] Thanks for the input fellas. I am building on LA so either will work. My plan is to be able to shoot 140 or 160 accubonds. Currently the bolt is a standard but my smith can open it up to a mag if I go that route but I have not ruled out just buying one from Dave Kiff. I have one of his bolts in my heavy 280AI and like it. My major concern on the 7wsm is the fact that its the redheaded step child of the wsm's. Winchester brass is the only brass available unless you neck up or down from the 270 or 300 case. That is what my smith has been building for people wanting a 7wsm ( 7mm 300wsm) which in my understanding will not accept an out of the box 7wsm due to the slightly larger case on the std. 7wsm. I don't plan of shooting out of the box ammo but in a pinch with no reloading equipment available I would like the option. I started off wanting to build a plain jane 7 rem mag but my smith said he would not do that if it were him. I will agree the belted mags can be touchy to load for. [/QUOTE]
