Hi Guys
Thanks for reading. I need some opinions and have already looked around google but the information I have looked for isnt solid enough.
Im looking to build something new in the future and the 7mm WSM has taken my attention. I after something that will run Berger 180gr VLD and push them at a decent speed.
My reason for looking at a 7mmWSM is that I believe they can fit into an AICS short action, but I havnt confirmed this yet. I currently have a spare HS stock I can put my .308 into (leaving my with my AICS as a spare), in the hopes that I can get a custom action fitted to my AICS 1.5 SA in 7mmWSM. If anyone currently runs this setup please chime in as I would love to hear what you all think.
Before I decide to hand over some decent cash to a smith to get a custom build I would like to make sure I can make use of my AICS as it would really offer me some savings for a new build.
One more question for you all... The berger 180 VLD looks to be a rather large projectile and im certain that most off the shelf rifles in 7mmWSM have a throat that may potentially mean i eat up valuable case space by chosing such a massive projectile. Does anyone have any valuable advice regarding how a custom throat should be spec'd to enable smooth operation of long projectiles (168 and 180gr) or should I just leave it up to the smith to decide?
