The BLR in long actions handle differently enough for me not to go there, so it's the short I'm after.
Very true, and I've owned a WSM BLR. I'd recommend the pistol grip version for handling recoil.
I have (2) 7 WSM's and I love the cartridge. Brass availability is nil, though there's rumors of WW doing a run. Sounds like there's loaded ammo out there.
By the way there's a guy who will fix the bad trigger on that BLR. Not easy to find anyone to work on them. Neil Jones Custom Products.
