Anybody built a 7 WSM on a short action and used the berger 180 VLDs or the 162 A-maxes? My gunsmith recommends a long action to get the bullets out far enough. Any input would helpful.

Re: 7mm WSM
I use 180s. You want to mag feed look at seekins precision DBM for WSM. I think it allows 3.15" oal in short action.

Re: 7mm WSM
That'll do ya good, just have him chamber for 2.90" touching the lands and load about .10"-.15" into the lands. When getting the mag system from Glen ask him to measure the mags to be sure yours will fit. I am sure he would be willing. Make sure the action is opened up enough for this system. If it is a custom action, some places may do this for you when ordering. The 7WSM is very tight with a short action using 180s. Doesn't work with most SA setups when mag feeding.

Re: 7mm WSM
I would like to use AI mags if possible. That will probably mean a long action as I don't think they ill fit in a 308 size mag.

AI mags, Rem or WIn actions, You can shoot 180s all day long from modified mags. Just throat accordingly.
