Shooting 162-168s at 2850 with and ADI powder would convince me to go this route if I can get away with a stumpy barrel but I kinda want confirmation that this can be pushed down as far as 18”.

Will be a follow up to the shortening article in the October/November magazine.
Attachment 258435

It will only be a matter of time till we see more factory rifles and once that happens it wont be a lemon it will be the new lemonade and everyone will want a sip ;)

I see Tikka are chambering their “Ace” chassis rifle in it (Euro optic site ) and it appears on the Beretta NZ configurator for sako 90 Peak.
Lapua have announced they will offer brass in “fall” ie 6+ months away.
There are a few new 7mm about but two manufacturers are betting this will be the one going forward.
