[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 988580, member: 5219"] You asked for our opinions? I would go with one of the 7mms. Are you able to decide on the bolt face? Magnum or non magnum or is it already the smaller bolt face? Just have to say that you won't impinge enough on powder space to make a difference in performance when using a longer cartridge with a long bullet. You said: "in the future to move into a long action caliber". The future is NOW why not make it a long action cartridge from the beginning? I will bet it will feed better than a short cartridge. If you insist on a SA case, depending on bolt face why not consider slightly larger short action cartridges? The 284 win, the 7 SAUM or 7 WSM come to mind. They would give you more velocity with the heavier high BC bullets like the 180 Berger. IMO I can't see using a muzzle brake for a small cartridge. If it comes with one just put it aside till you switch to a long action cartridge with some serious recoil. [/QUOTE]
