I stumbled into the parts, including a Rock Creek barrel with less than 20rd through it, to build a 700 in 7WSM. I have no experience with the round, or any WSM. This will be a fairly lightweight hunting gun build, in a Bansner stock.

How limiting is a short action 700 receiver on COAL?

Is the Hornady brass worth a damn?

The barrel is a 10 twist, and the gun will be used for general hunting. What bullet(s) seem to be the magic pill in these things?

Absolutely any guidance is greatly appreciated. This is more a toy than anything, and if it doesnt work out, I am not really out anything substantial.
