This home made tumbler can hold 300/400 06 or magnum size cases at a time. BUT, don't mix large & small cases in the same batch or you will spend hours getting them separated.

First inspect brass for any defects, 2nd deprime all cases, 3rd put them in my tumbler with Stl.Pins - a pinch of lemi shine and dawn and tumble. Rinse in hot water, remove any St. Stl pins that may still be inside of the cases, spread them on a towel with case mouths all in same direction, Turn...

Thanks all for the input. Much appreciated however, I passed on the 7STW in lieu of a 6.5x???

Thanks ST for the reply. Yes both my 30 x 68 & 7 x 68 which were built on the 8 x 68s use a 35* shoulder and a minimum case taper. I'll continue to search around and surely get in touch with Dave Tooley.

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone out there has ever worked with or modified the RWS 6.5 x 68s. I have been thinking of doing something with this cartridge but would like some info before I start down that road. Has this been done before? What bullet, powder, charge, barrel twist is working or...

.............Or you could build your own. This tumbler can hold 150/200 30-06 sized cases, 4lbs of St. Stl. Pins, with cleaner & Lemi Shine.

Thanks, you were spot on. That link answered a lot of questions. I knew converting 8 mag would work but not sure how the brass will shoot & function. You mentioned other brass will work. Which ones?

Hi all, was strolling thru the gun store and noticed a Rem in 7mm STW. Stn., muzzle break, & what is probably a Rem glass stock. Price was in my budget range but before I pulled the trigger (no pun intended) I thought I would check for available unp. brass. None to be found from Horn or Nosler...

Worth a try. I'll check it out. Thanks

Struck out at Bullberry.

Thanks. I'll give them a try.

I have several early model frames. I understand T/C is not around anymore so who can convert them to easy open?

At 80 I'm far from an expert but I have found over the years reloading and setting the bullet close to the lands has made an improvement in my groups. But, as they say "opinions are like #$%@&%& we all have one".
