Barrel will be long , ie 26-28 inches ?

To 600m is easy, the 140g Nosler Ballistic Tip from a 7mm08 @ 2900fps is supersonic until 1100yrds.

Long range gongs no problem

Long range goats no problem

Deer to 600yrds no problem.

The 162 amax in a short action is far more usable when pushed by a saum or wsm case.

My standard 7mmsaum in a Model 7 pushes the 140g nbt @3200fps so gongs and goats to 1300 yrds are covered. And the model 7 can be made into a featherweight if need be.
