[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 445475, member: 9775"] It's a 7mm wsm now. Not planning to feed from the mag. It will be a switch barrel deal, and yes, I will be switching the bolt head as well. This barrel will only be used for practice. The cheaper the cost to reload the better, but I still want to reach out there. I'm shooting a Savage fv 223 right now out to 1000 yards. It shoots the Hornady 75 grn hpbt no problem, but doesn't like the 75 grn a-max. It's only a 1-9 twist witch limits my bullet choice. This is why I was thinking a 223ai in a faster twist just might work. I will not be shooting competition or hunting with this caliber at all, so it doesn't have to be the best wis bang kid on the block. Just something with better ballistics than I am getting right now. Something that goes through the wind a little bit better. I'm researching some of the other suggestions more closely and I appreciate any experience others are willing to share. [/QUOTE]
