Anyone own a 7mm 300 Win Mag?

[MR.SWIFT]

a question for broz, i have a 300 ultra mag that has very few round through it less than 20. i am wanting to build a 28 to 30in 7mm/300 on it. already have a 24in model 70 so i already have dies and experiance with loading the 180vld. it shoots great however the shorter mag of the model 70 is holding it back. the ultra mag it on a senduro stock. only looking to change barrels and chamber for the 7mm/300win. perhaps trigger ajustment also.

I have thought about using a throating reamer to get more speed but I cannot mess with it for how accurate it shoots.

I can give you the cartridge overall length later.

Looks like I was wrong. Shot mine the past two days and it is going faster than it was last fall. So, A combination of the barrel getting broken in, took a little more off the neck thickness and one more grain of powder (75.5 gr. h1000). The chrono read an average of 3150 yesterday and 3250 today. The chrono is not the best so there is some error sometimes. But I can confirm it is about an inch high at 100 and dead on at 200. So it is somewhere in the 3150-3200 range. I will confirm velocity at further ranges when I get a chance.

Norma - they weigh 220-222 grains as is with necks turned to 12 thousandths. (cant remember if the weight is with primers in or out)
