    Help design the NZHS Forum Wildcat - Part 3 - Case

    Alrighty - the masses have spoken, and we have a 7mm on a short action.

    What case to run it on?

    Keep in mind that it needs to be mag length - preferably std; say Rem 700?
    So if 162 Amax or 180 VLD is on the cards, you dont want it to be 1/2 way into the case - which is not an issue as the case can be shortened to suit.
    I know - its starting to stretch out from the ~200yds that the initial spec was for, but it seems that the masses want something that might reach out a bit further - hence the 7mm.

    Once we have a few ideas that people are agreeing with, will go to a Poll, and see what we get.

    So my suggestion, is a 284 case, shortened so that at mag length, a 162 Amax or 168 VLD is correctly positioned in the neck ie not poking out past the junction, and Ackley improved a bit
