[QUOTE="TMR, post: 490559, member: 5819"] You can rechamber a 7 mag to 7 STW. Your smith may have to set the barrel back a couple of turns depending on how picky he is. Remington has a habit of oblong chambers and when a guy rechambers, you can actually see where the reamer will skip over a spot in the factory chamber. I generally set them back a couple threads then recut. Also, most match reamers will have a smaller neck diameter than factory and will leave a small step in the neck area of the chamber. I would find a Sendero in 7 Mag and shoot it until the barrel is gone, then have it trued and a new barrel installed in 7 STW with a 9 twist. [/QUOTE]
