[QUOTE="brittf, post: 2408894, member: 121792"] I hope that I am meeting typical forum protocol. I am a 'student' of a famous gunsmith and 'Hall of Fame' shooter, learning to chamber and bed high-precision rifles. It is my hobby (I am an older professor) and not my profession. I am also a relatively competent 'hobby' machinist. Call him 'Sensei' and me 'grasshopper' :) In any event, I am planning my next rifle. Sensei wants me to build a 7 SAUM and my personal interest is a 280 AI. However, NEITHER cartridge seems to have much brass available (if any) and I hate the uncertainty. I will also need a chamber reamer and a resizing die. So, the Sherman 'Mega' line seems to solve both problems. I can buy the brass, chamber reamer, and full-length resizing die at the same time. From what I am reading, so far the 'Mega' line is on paper and not real. Is there anywhere I can go to learn more (aside from the relatively parsimonious information on the Sherman wildcat website) about the 'mega' cartridge? When will the reamer, brass, and resizing dies be available? Is the supply chain realistic and reliable? Will the (potentially slightly overbore) 7mm Mega be an accurate cartridge, comparable to the 7 SAUM (winning competitive matches)? The folks on this forum seem serious and knowledgeable, so I value advice. The rifle is a Cerus GT-Hybrid repeater stock (beautiful curly Maple), Badger bottom metal, AICS magazine, Bartlein (or Proof) 26" Sendero carbon-fiber wrapped barrel, and a Tuebor LegionTi or Kelbly's Nanook action. Probably a bit heavy for a 'mountain' hunting rifle, but around 10 lbs with a nice March 1.5-15 scope. I already have an F-Open 6-Dasher rifle and (soon) a nice F/TR .308 rifle, so this is my 'hunting' and screw-around (lightweight) long distance rifle. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. [/QUOTE]
