I think you are missing the point of the above post. At least one poster says that the 7-300WSM has more case capacity than the 7mm WSM or is better than the 7mm WSM, and is therefore a different chambering altogether.

I think the main reason for the brass shortage is the overall ammo shortage. Because the 7mm WSM is not as popular as the others, including 300 WSM, it is more acute. I don't think the 7mm WSM is dead. I had one built about a year ago and the builder told me that although it is not as...

I was thinking the same thing. Either the 7-300WSM reference is a joke, or it is an esoteric name which cartridge details cannot be determined by the name alone.

I am not quite sure I understand your smithy. The WSM line was developed by Winchester, Winchester employees are usually bound by contract to assign any rights that they may have in an invention to their employer (Winchester). If your smithy is correct, then this should apply to all of the...

I think RWS might make some 7mm wsm brass. However, RWS brass is really hard, if not impossible, to get in the US

I think it is coming. I think it has recently gained popularity in F-Class. Lots of guys are moving to 7mm wsm from 6.5x284. Moreover, I just ordered a custom gun in 7mm WSM. Also, Winchester has at least 3 guns that are chambered in 7mm wsm. New for this year. They should be hitting the...

Where is the 7mm WSM?

jonthomps, nice gun. I was thinking of a having GAP build something like that for me. How much does that rifle weigh?

I have heard that although there is a significant increase in velocity, it does not necessarily parlay into better accuracy than current match ammo.

dirtboy, that is a beautiful gun. my eyes are watering as I write this. 338 believer, wow your guns are pretty big. I would have a hard time carrying it from my car to the bench.

dirtboy, your rifle sounds pretty cool. Can you upload some pics? What do you planning on hunting with it?

I have seen a few guys with ruggedized PDAs. This might be useful for ballistics software and GPS functionality. Can anyone else suggest more uses?

Powder Valley has the 7mm bullets you are looking for. They are however out of stock of the 257 115 grn VLD though.

what kind of 338? 338 Edge? 338 Lapua Mag? Or, another kind of 338?

Nice rifle JWP. Is it a custom build? How built it? With regards to the photo with you on horseback. Where were you hunting? Thanks.
