Re: What LA 7mm?

i just build a 7/300 wsm on a rem700 LA. LOVE IT. 162 amax at 3200fps. Crunch the numbers=awesome.
Load is 68gr h1000. Cant wait to smack a WY speed goat this year.

Long action, non-magnum boltface.

280AI
Stiller Tac-300
26" Rock 5R 1 in 8.7 twist Varmint Contour
Pushing the 162 Amax at 3000fps, easy, could go faster, but do not see the point.
 
Re: What LA 7mm?

I thpught about rhe 284. Even bought dies and brass but eneded up doing the 7/300 wsm. So if anyone wants some 284 brass.......
 
Re: What LA 7mm?

Try the 7mm SAUM thats going to be my next build. I am like you about the bullets I am going to have to build something that will send those 190grs down range... I wish I wouldnt have sold my 7mm rem mag now.. but I guess its a good reason to get a 7 SAUM.. LOL
 
Re: What LA 7mm?

Forgive my ignorance but what kind of bolt do you have. I'm seeing suggestions with mag and standard bolt face. For standard bolt face I would go 280 or 280 AI. Very efficeint, good brass available. The 7wsm and 7RM are good rounds too for magnums.
 
Re: What LA 7mm?

You can always have your bolt face opened up if need be..
 
Re: What LA 7mm?

"7 WSM, 7 SAUM, 7/300 WSM, 7/300 RCM, 284 Win throated to run in a LA would be my suggestion."

To this list I would add the 7 Dakota. I don't own anything that has a belt.
