At this point I really don't know where I'm leaning. May decide to can the supercharging for now and just go with the 7 Rem Mag as is, all these extra costs I'm looking at are eating into my hunting budget, and I've got a lot of hunts planned this year: numerous deer, elk and antelope hunts, plus a bear. Just not sure I want to spend more money reaming, tweaking the magazine and bolt stop (not necessary) and dropping major coinage on dies plus leaving the gun out of commission for a few months. Need conserve the gas money, and Wednesday is leftover tag day for Wyoming, plus I need to plunk down some horse rental fees now that my buddy with the horses has backed out of the backcountry hunt.

Things are adding up fast, might have to call her good as is. And I'm already sporting a 26" barrel, which should be good for over 2900 fps on those 175s.

Stuck in indecision mode right now.
