Sorry for yet another which caliber thread but looking for some input from those that have taken this path numerous times.
I have a Remington 700 in 7mm Rem Mag that is getting near to the end of it's accurate life. This started out life as a factory Rem 700 Long Range (B&C Stock) that was inlet by CDI a few years back for AICS mags. I mainly shoot groups at 500 and in plus steel out to 1350 with the occasional trip to the desert to shoot a mile.
I plan on doing a remage rebarrel myself and would like to stick to the same bolt face diameter. I am considering 6.5 PRC but I do like the 7mm selection of bullets that I use and am familiar with. If I was to stay with 7mm and not do a RM again; what should I be looking at? Does 7mm WSM work fine from a magazine on a long action?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Cheers.
