[QUOTE="Loner, post: 536405, member: 24560"] There seems to be two sizes of cases and chambers out there these days. The original stw was built on a 8mmag case which is .002 larger than the 300 win mag family of cases just ahead of the belt. I think the brass suppliers just started cheating and the chamber reamer makers may have followed the brass. I should restate the 7stw was .002 larger not the 8mm. I still have some new brass from back in the 90's that you could never chamber in a .513 sized stw. Also a 7mm would always clean up when chambering to an stw. They apparently don't now and I have seen several smiths post not to do it without setting the barrel back. My gun is a Rem. custom shop early stw and the barrel is a remarked 7mm. [/QUOTE]
