[QUOTE="wldcat, post: 2971324, member: 124994"] I had a similar choice to make this year with a savage short action I had laying around. Most will argue it was a waste of money to build on the savage but that's for a different discussion all together…. Everything I read brought me to one conclusion and that's the Sherman short has the most performance at 2.95 coal out of any short mag. I understand the fear of running a cartridge that's not commercially supported but from a pure performance standpoint the ss can't be beat in a true short action. I went 6.5 not 7mm but am very happy with it and it feeds better than I expected. Every rifle is different but this one runs a 135 badlands at 3117 with what looks like will be very very good brass life but it's to new to know for sure. No signs of pressure at that load but the low body taper of the Sherman's do hide pressure, hopefully primer pockets hold up 😎 [/QUOTE]
