    the next build.... somthing... longer legged ?

    So, I already have a short 6.5 Grendel, then a mid 7mm saum, my 6.5 saum shoote mid-long... id like a dedicated capable long range rig.. and im thinking along the lines of a 7mm-300prc, what are y9our thoughts ? somthing to lob those bigger 7mm projectiles down a decent whack.

    Anything else someone can recommend ? 300prc ? - i like the idea of semi custom cartridges.

    Just buy that 7mm Blaser Mag that was on here, Tikka T3 with a Bartlein 26" Barrel for 2k flat.

    I'd be buying it if I didn't already have a custom 28 Nosler

    300NM. 225 eldm. Comparable ballistics to a 338lm out to 1300, then the norma can really shine if loaded appropriately.

    Would neck sizing for reloads take long?
