Browning xbolt hells canyon come with a 1:8 twist which is suitable for heavy projectiles, but you don’t get heavy for caliber unless you reload in rem mag. 28 nosler burns barrels, not much factory...

I'm a big 7mm fan with x2 7mm creeds, 284win, 7mmRM and a soon to be built 7-6.5PRC. As I've always wanted a SAUM but the brass situation is a turn off and plenty of quality 6.5PRC brass around. ...

The 7 PRC is also going to fit the Tikka action/mag really well where as the rem mag can be a touch long.

I went from my rem mag to a saum because I could get the saum on a short action. Bloody love it, awesome cartridge. I probably wouldn’t go back to a rem mag even though it was awesome. BUT, I am a...
