175 grain bullets in the 7mm rem mag

Fixing and improving is not the same. If rifle manufacturers adhere to this mindset, we would still be shooting/hunting with muskets from the 15th Century or earlier technology. LL!

Exactly. This is why I think keeping Ol' Trusty as Ol' Trusty is the smarter move over the long run from my experience. There's only so much that can be done to the older rifles before they reach their limit in performance. Then you realize a total rebuild down to the action is what you should have done in the first place. Or…buy/build a rifle from scratch to meet that purpose.

I've tried this on some of my older rifles, and wished I would have kept them the way they were. I wasted a lot of time and money pursuing performance that didn't exist in some of those rifles. Needless to say, I learned lessons along the way and hindsight is 20/20…

Mine is the remington 1:91/4

The 175 Berger is 1:10" or faster, your GTG, if you choose this route.

I am sure when he is ready for an upgrade (new rifle to build or buy), the OP will re-engage.

I've had really good luck with 175 ABLR
