    Crazy blue people...anyway, what about making the most of the new .270 LR AB and necking it to fit those or maybe the standard 130gr projo's. Would be a nice short action all rounder with moderate speeds??

    Its a great looking wildcat, and would suit the budget consoius loader and under 250 yards it will be devestating on deer.
    Might be time to get a 7mm.

    Good point.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    7FEH isn't that just a 7 IHMSA a 7mm based on a 250 savage (ie 22-250) case? if so i guess reamers are available off the shelf I looked at 7 IHMSA a while back and I remember reading that 300 savage brass is the preferred starting point as opposed to necking up 22-250 or 250 savage brass

    I like the idea of a 7mm creedmore improved. shorter than a 7-08 so suits short actions like the rem model 7

    I have this 7saum shortened 200 one working really well now after a few initial brass forming headaches 162 amax does 2930 out of 24 inch tube

    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


    Might need to get a model 7 for this project

    7FEH isn't that just a 7mm IHMSA a 7mm based on a 250 savage (ie 22-250) case? were you trying to do something unique? I guess at least dies, reamers, and load data are all ready available federal used to sell brass too but they stopped....

    It certainly looks close, less taper perhaps.
