[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 799002, member: 15748"] etisll40, I'm a bit surprised that nobody has mentioned this so far, but no, the 8mm Rem Mag is far from being "the only" case that can be made into 7mm STW brass. There's an entire family, most of them far more readily available than the 8mm Rem Mag, which is itself somthing of a rare bird. Try the 300 H&H Mag, or the always readily available 375 H&H. There's a couple of Weatherby cases that would also work, but cost would be considerably higher, and there may be issues in reforming that double radius shoulder. I'd suggest the 375 H&H as being the easiest to find, with the 300 H&H right behind it in order of preference. Norma makes both, and they're of good quality. Certainly far better than the Remington stuff you'd most likely be starting with if you were to reform from 8mm Rem Mag cases. As far as Lapua goes, we've had some discussions along these lines, but there's nothing brewing on the immediate horizon. Sorry I can't have better news for you, but that's just not in the works anytime soon. Anyway, try the 375 or 300 H&H as parent cases, and I think you'll be off to a good start. [/QUOTE]
