I've been in contact with Gunwerks about their 7mm LRM (7/375 Ruger). It is essentially a 7mm Dakota with a .532 bolt face. Dies are available and supposedly Hornady is coming out with brass in Feb/Mar of this year. 180 VLD at 3100 w/o the magazine constraints of an STW. There's alot to like there...
Now there ya go! Someone finally woke up!They probably read about the Mashburn....
Jordan/Jeff: You have to think about it like this....these larger 7mm's do with a 175-180 gr what the smaller one's do with a 160.....and with a 160, what the smaller one's do with a 140.
As to powder charges,they burn a bit more, but less than many 300 mag loads....I figure 73 gr of H1000 is not a bad trade off for 3075 with a 175 gr bullet.
Whether we need it or not is another matter...not up for discussion.
