    Here we have a visual comparison between the 7mmFEH and a Standard 7mm-08 on the right.

    The Forum Elite Hunter is loaded with a 120grain BT and the 7mm-08 is loaded with a 140grain BT (to suit a long throated Sako)

    As Kiwigreg alluded to 3050-3100fps might be achievable with Lapua brass, pushing the shoulder forward would be cool but necessitates fire forming.

    Anyone have any thoughts on this, is it too small in capacity for general hunting????

    Perhaps we could have a slight concept change on the Forum wildcat idea and have a Forum line of wildcats, this one could be the smallest and let's have two above it, to cover all our hunting requirements.
    The mid can be the short 284 idea and the large, well, that's a whole 'nother thread
