Another option for guys wanting to run this cartridge with a longer freebore in a 700 long action, is to go with PT&G's detachable bottom metal that fits factory BDL inlets. In the reviews, a guy noted that OAL was limited to 3.428" in his, making it a peachy fit for the PRC.

Grin I thought steelhead was at your place. As to whooping a creed I’m fixing to do it with more case and a shorter action. Just because I can/ It’s the only way to make a model 7, 7saum useful.

Re sprung it’s good enough. Has a benchmark #6 at 24” 9T 5grove PTG bottom and sits in a manners T. It was my uncles only worldly possessions when he passed. He would be proud and it ain’t a safe queen. The bases are 20moa Nightforce and the Warner low rings hold the 3.5-15 nxs right where I like it. iMR ssc7828 58.5 grains, CCI 200, Norma brass and 162 ELD-X at 2940. Shoots in the .3”. Pictures from 2016 but she got a work out in 17 as well. I’m way off topic now. LOL. Last edited by fredIII; 03/07/18.

With the shorter bearing surface of the 150's I figured I could go a hair more than where I did with the Hornadys. When I got to 3125, they shot damn good, but was on the edge of too much. A day later I tested them again, and while bolt lift was snug, I could chamber fired brass with ease. I finished up with this target:

MSR reticle that isn’t very cluttered so I love it for long range shooting and hunting as I have no practical use for the tree reticles. It’s perfect on the WSM and the works was indeed at Fred’s 2 weekends ago, had to watch his nephew didn’t steal it and my 22/410. 😁 Originally Posted by fredIII 243wssm brass is on its way the model seven is boxed up and kiff sent me a reamer print for Scott. Going to put a 8.4 t Boots on it as it’s probably the last one that I will ever have the chance to obtain. It’s really looking like 260 AI speed with tons of box to use on the long stuff. Going to eat creeds. Like I said at the house if it does what I think it will it will be a head scratcher why it was never a factory round. Originally Posted by Judman your scared to come to the hollar.... Matt will never be the same if he follows suit. Hell gtf outta king county for sure.... grin Not much spooks me. Fred and his kin tried to kill my liver via bottles and it hung in like a champ. I’m actively planting seeds in the wife’s head to move south ASAP, I’m sure I can convince Fred’s wife to help if I promise to babysit him more.

Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

As a rifle for the kids to learn and hunt on it will be excellent. It should be a 260 ai equivalent in a light and compact youth sized package and I figure it should be stellar across the board. The parts set is great and any kid would love it.

Can’t see the 6.5 wby or any of them pushing much over 3200 being kind to the throat unless a guy kept it cool. I suppose me and Aalf will both be seeing how 3100-3250 treats then as well. Mine still looks great at 250 down it.
