[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2425888, member: 87243"] A WSM would be a good choice as well, they should be very similar with similar powders. The new 7 max brass is pre formed, so no fireforming, and factory 7 saum ammo generally shoots well enough while forming if your in a pinch, however the dies for the max are more expensive if you prefer to just buy a basic RCBS FL die set. They are on par with other bushing die sets for the WSM. And I hear that ADG is gonna start making WSM brass as well, so really no bad choice. My OAL with the 175 is under 3.1", so a bainey box in a short action would run them. In an ultralight gun though, a 6.5 flavor would probably be a little more consistent for long range shooting. Or you could be super cool and do a 270 WSM/SS/MAX type, split the difference. A 140 badlands super bulldozer II or 150 Accubond LR type bullet could be a good choice that would give great long range potential while still being decent on consistent recoil management. It's pretty awesome we have so many good options these days. [/QUOTE]
