From doing a refresher reading on 6mmbr.com, my ideal LR hunting 7 is looking more and more like the 7 SAUM on a std length action with a 26-28" bbl and throated to keep the 180's in the neck. This also allows for seating shorter bullets, like the 168 VLD or 160 Accubond next to the lands.
I had tossed around the idea of building a WSM, but with a reamer that lengthens the throat and the neck. Seems like it is easier to hit the accuracy node of the 180's with the WSM and a shorter bbl, say 24-26", but I am firm on the longer neck.
