What 7mm magnum cartridge to build?

[Kcollins01]

7 PRC is a Sweet choice,.. My son, really Likes, his !
5 shots under, 1/2 MOA with, 180 grain, ELD-M's / ADG Brass at, 2,987 FPS with, "Thrown" Charges of, StaBall HD powder.
7 SAUM is,. another good, choice.
I'd AVOID, the Barrel Burners that, GULP,. Huge Volumes of, Gun Powder !

That's what I'm wanting to do with this build something a little more efficient

BEFORE Building / Re-Barreling a Rifle, I'd BUY some, GOOD Brass,.. FIRST !
ADG brass,. if, you can Find it, "Works" Good !
Then Dies ( I personally Like, Forster Dies )

7mm Practical (7/300 Win Mag (Peterson Long)
7/300 PRC
7 Max or Mega

I really like my 28 Noslers. 180s at 3200fps out of my 27" Bartlein barrel. I have another one I'll likely use all copper bullets in the 160gr range.

For something a bit different and a very reliable cartridge, how about a 7mm Mashburn Super Magnum?

..based on what we have been seeing over the last 5 years I hain't straying far from cartridges that haven't been around for less than 50 years...a plain Jane ho-hum boring 7mm Remington Mag will handle anything you can hit...with less anxiety than the others..

If that's the route you want, sell or trade the action to a more appropriate action designed for your build.

I agree I've got 4 of them just wanting something else as well

8twt barrel 26 to 28" long.
7RUM, 28 Nosler, or 7 Rem mag.
Have Fun.

I've had them all, keep going back to a 7 rem mag. With all these new super high bc bullets from Berger and hornady, it takes the rem mag to a whole new level. Get a 8 twist barrel and throat it long. You won't regret it.
Perfect happy medium between barrel life, recoil, ballistic performance and component availability.
