[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2329731, member: 1951"] Sounds fun. I would go shorter like 24” and short action to get weight down, but long action is possible. IMO, 6.5 PRC, 270 WSM (throated for longer bullets seated just under 3”), 7mm-08 (possibly too small), 7mm Rem Mag, 7 Sherman Short Yes. It is the 300 RCM….not super popular If you want 7mm 180’s over 3000 fps, that takes a bit more case like 7 Rem Mag…. This is driving the bus towards pretty heavy recoil. Where a 270 Sherman can get you most of what you want, premium brass, an extra round in the mag and way less recoil. You can hunt large game with many target bullets. You needs weight, reasonable velocities and reasonable expectations. You can’t drive them through bones and they will blow up under 100 yds often. Contrary to popular belief, a Berger, Hornady, Barnes or Hammer hunting bullet gives lots of performance on game, good enough BC’s and they group well. [/QUOTE]
