Rebarrel your rem mag with an 8 twist bartlein chambered in 7mm blaser sling the 180s easy at mag length at 3060 mellow load and save your self 10 gns of powder per round. The blaser is unreal . Once i get my rm mag finnlight back its getting blasered no doubt

Thanks gents. Not detracting from the 7mm Blaser, if the rifle is going to need work done I'll just revert back to Plan A and get a 7mm - 300 built. Was just wondering if the Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon 28 Nosler requires any work to run the 180s and 195s as there is conflicting feedback on this in other forums.

Cheers,

JT

Cant anwser that sorry dude never actually played with one i didnt mean to quote your post was more aimed at @stagstalker with his situation of having a tikka in rem mag iv done the conversion and it works bloody well the blaser is very efficent for the power it produces 69 gns of powders sees an easy mid 3000 range in the 180 weight class and fits the tikka mag perfect i imagen the 28 nosler would be waisted cut short and as stagstalker is a fan of the shorter barrels I no he could still get 2900-2950 at 21" with the blaser

Yeap @Kelton is onto it , my old 21" blaser was pushing the 180 vld at 2900ish and when it was 24" it was bit over 3000. They were mild loads too.
