Wildcats based off 7mm mag action.

(1/5) > >>

hogslayer:
I am having a 28 Nosler built my Michael at Hells canyon armory. I have a sako 7mm mag that I am wanting to re-barrel in something else.  Leaning towards a 6.5 SAUM, or 6.5 wsm.  I would like to use my same action and bolt.  Curious what other people have done with building off a magnum action?

Dan-o:
I imagine plenty of people have already taken a 7MM Rem Mag down to 6.5 MM, but that would be pretty cool......

hogslayer:
Ya I looked into that thinking the same thing.  Turns out the 264 win mag is .5 grains less in case capacity. 

rbros:
stick with a long action magnum case.  It will feed a little better than the short cases in a long action. 

b23:
6.5 Blaser Magnum, aka necked down 7mm Blaser Magnum, I know, right now you're probably saying a 6.5 Blaser what?!  :chuckle:

It has the same case capacity as standard 7mm Rem Mag (82.5gr H2O) and slightly more than the SAUM and WSM.  The case is longer than the WSM but not quite as long as a 7 Rem Mag and not as fat as the WSM but fatter than the Rem Mag.  Norma makes the 7mm Blaser Mag brass and it's easily available from online sources just google 7mm Blaser Magnum brass for sale.

I just had a 7mm Blaser Mag built and used a Remington LSS 300 win mag as the donor gun and had a HS Prec. detachable mag system installed, it feeds very well and has plenty of length for the 180 Bergers I'm shooting.
