[QUOTE="Loner, post: 385335, member: 24560"] I just pulled out my stw cases. I have a rem custom shop gun built in the mid 90's. The fired cases measure .5145 to .5150. I have some unfired rem cases bought in 2001 that measure .5050. So I would say some one, most likely the brass manufacturers cheated much like they did on the 6.5x55 rim and started making the brass smaller on the 300 H&H measurements and the reamer makers followed suit. I am sure my original win cases were not .5050 like the rem. The other thread about 2 different reamers for the stw peeked my curiosity. The ptg mentioned obviously is not what Remington used on my gun as the cases would never fit. [/QUOTE]
