Precisely :)

When you analyse the .270 calibre in detail you come across an interesting fact

.270 in metric is 6.858 mm

And a .284 (7mm) is 7.2136


So a .270 is closer to 7mm than what a 7mm is

Plenty of good 6XC brass around now.


Anyone contemplating or using a 7x47 yet ?

Well, a Forum Elite Hunter cartridge that can be a little different but still practical might be a 6XC necked up to 6.5mm, 6.8mm or 7mm.


Easy brass to find and form if need be, can ai it if...

I took a 7 mm08 case and necked it up to 30 cal , does that count ? :)

Hey hey dont get all logical on us :)

Lyman make a 7mm universal seating die, as do a couple of other companies

With lapua brass and 120g ballistic tips it might be a 3000fps capable chambering

Yes that will work

Now theres a good idea :)

And still using the standard model 7 in saum

Any further ideas for a forum wildcat ?

No not yet, been playing with the "Houston warehouse" saum

21 3/4 inch barrel, 1.3 inch dia at the muzzle :)

Shooting very well :)

It certainly looks close, less taper perhaps.

Might need to get a model 7 for this project :)

Yes about time you did :)

Hahahahahaha. R is before W or 7mm. Hahahahahaha

Just gave myself three uppercuts and kicked sand in my own face :) Hahahahahahahahaha

Probably, and my idea is just a gutless 7mm rem mag :) :) :)

We are not trying to do anything revolutionary here, or cover unchartered ground, just trying to have a 'Forum Wildcat' or line of...

A 6.5 would still have the original design characteristics outlined here.........

I would like to say faster :) but increased bearing surface with the 120 grainers in 6.5 might even them up velocity wise, might.

Here we have a visual comparison between the 7mmFEH and a Standard 7mm-08 on the right.

The Forum Elite Hunter is loaded with a 120grain BT and the 7mm-08 is loaded with a 140grain BT (to suit a...

You haven't wildcatted the 7mm FEH yet ???

Had a wee think today about the suitability of a short 7mm as a forum wildcat.

I presumed it could have a few practical features.........

1. quietness and low recoil when suppressed. (Great...

408 Cheytac or Viersco Mag shortened to SAUM length

It can then be 6.5mm, 7mm, 30 cal, 338 cal, 375 cal if any of us so desires.

Bruce Bertram can make the brass for us.

Have you any pictures of your carbon fibre stocks robhughes ?
