[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1359902, member: 101859"] I am building myself a new light-ish pack rifle. Short action for elk was the goal. Obviously shot distance will be limited but thats what happens when you compromise with light weight and short actions. I went with the 7 saum. A 162 eld or 168 vld seats just about at the junction loaded to 2.950". And should get 3000-3100 fps in 26". It was about as much as I wanted to deal with brake-less which I didnt want on this rifle as well. If I was not lazy about reloading I would have done the SS. Reminds me of the BR cartridge we are using now (6BRA) so I would be confident in its ability to handle high pressures. [/QUOTE]
