Wildcats based off 7mm mag action.

I have thought about that to. Only issue I see is that right now at 3.336 coal I am at max magazine and already filed it down big time. I was thinking of going to a 30 cal mag, but with high bc bullets it wouldn't fit. I already had to find the second sweet spot for the bergers at .80 thou off the lands to get them to fit. Otherwise it is single shot.

Winchester did that back in 1959. .264 Win Mag.

And it became a legend as a barrel burner. The velocity was to fast at around 3400 FPS, barrels did not last long and they were shot out.

I like the 6.5 Blaser idea! How much experience do you have with wildcats? If you're not afraid of case forming you could do a 6.5x375 Ruger with the shoulder pushed back about .200". Pushing the shoulder back would give you a little more room for the long bullets as well as give you a longer neck.
If it were me, I'd go with a larger bore. The 6.5 and 7mm are so close that it almost seems like a waste. A 358/375 Ruger would fit perfect in there and will almost match the performance of the 358 STA. :twocents: I'm a huge fan of the 338/375 Ruger and I'be had 5 of them over the years. Either the 338 or 358 would make a great 20-22" barreled hunting rifle.

How about a 243/7MM Rem Mag?
(Your new ultimate antelope rifle)
Or a 22/7MM Rem Mag
(Your new ultimate predator 3,800 fps round)

I have never seen the alaska times round. That thing is a pig! I am trying to stay away from having to neck turn and fire form and all that. I would like to just 1 pass resize the brass if I can. That's the only reason I was thinking going from .284 to .264. We shall see.
