Other than to note, if I wanted "more" in open country than a 270 offers, my move would be to a Big 7 and a 160-ish at 3000-3200 fps.

No issues with a 175 or more at 2900+ either. Hold the 30/06 capacity cases. Give me some powder volume, thank you

You can spell it "7mm Remington Magnum" but it has other names as well.


Bob,
Have you looked at Nathan's 7mm Practical? Essentially a .300 Winchester Magnum necked down to 7mm...

Matt : Yes sir....and I have read several times what Nathan wrote about the Practical.

This was discussed in another thread,but I was making Practical brass using 7RM neck dies back in the 1980's. A friend had a reamer,and another had rifles so chambered back then. We were familiar with the case and it's capabilities but for some reason I never got around to it.

This may have been an ingrained aversion to wildcats at the time.

Today I do indeed have a 7mm Mashburn Super built by Gene Simillion, which is the same as the Practical with a slightly longer neck. wink


Bob, Thank you Sir... I apologize for offering information you have already covered...

Best Regards, Matt.
