7mm stw or 8mm rem mag. What action will work?

Remington did nothing different with the magazine for their STW than they did for the .300 Win Mag. Those mag boxes are the same length and use the same follower and spring. Brass is hard to come by these days. Make no mistake, the 7STW is a formatable round. A good substitute, where brass is available at least part of the time, is the 7 Weatherby Mag. Peterson makes runs of that occasionally. It's a step up from the & Rem Mag and with 150g is the equal in velocity to the STW. With heavy bullets, the STW has the edge. That is where the STW and the Weatherby excel, with bullets heavier than 150g. The STW on a Rem 700 LA is a no brainer and is easily accomplished.We are both in OK, send me a PM if you wish.
I just realized who you are, nice to meet you
