There's potential.
I put a rifle together basically for this bullet, finally shot it today for velocity and figured I'd share. Shilen DGR action (thanks Hondo64), which is Rem 700 footprint that takes Savage small shank barrels with the nutter. Floaty bolt head, extractor is like an M16 I think, it's on a lug.... Got 26" SS heavy sporter 1 in 8" 7MM Remington Magnum barrel from Criterion via NSS, along with the NSS nut. They reportedly throat with .115" freebore, easy to reach lands at 2.727" BTO, about 3.455 COL, and is just fine in all regards to my eye for capacity, mag fit, etc .... Has Shilen 3/8" pinned lug and their 20MOA pinned aluminum rail. Sits in a Grayboe Outlander stock (thanks Rick) and wears a SWFA 3-9MQ in Warne Mtn Tech low rings. Timney Calvin Elite two-stage trigger (thanks Jordon), PTG aluminum Obermeyer style bottom metal. Remy box, spring and milled follower. Lug bedded in Devcon. Floated the nut onward. Torqued like a farmer. All went together with pleasant precision.
Anyways, Hornady brass, RL 26, CCI250, Horn 180 ELD-M, kissed, 70F..... Seemed predictable.
