Thread: Ream to... 7SAUM or 284

hey all. i have Browning X Bolt, and being a tight bstard was thinking about reaming to 284 as an alpine/slip rifle. Now the Xbolt action is medium, so that'l probably rule out using 162 ELDs because of length/feeding issues right?(unless single loaded).

Then remembered the 7SAUM, looks to be quite a bit shorter in the case and a 10% powder increase..... seems a lot more sane an option once mag/bolt face are adjusted....

162 grainers around 3000 or close to for minimal cost=not having to sell-lose money and buy another rifle seems logical to me.

what am i missing?
