[QUOTE="signature542, post: 321694, member: 14798"] Thanks for that all good Info... What' s the Berger supply like in N/Z all dried up here...located two boxes of 162g'n SST's and 160gn Accubonds the other day..for my T3 7RM ..Camo Just finished fitting a Ernie the Gun Smith Varmint spring.. Lucky I have a few thousand Mag primers on hand..drying up around here.. Hey have you tired or used a Truflite barrel? This is what I was hoping for..N/Z based and they have the reamers I may need. May also save some serious import/export paper work from the US. Never replied to my email last week so I may have to pick up the phone or grab a cheap Virgin flight! Its possibly just a touch short in the action for what I want to build but it would make a great 7mm/300wsm custom. 2.825 is the case spec on the Roy and the stw is even longer.. I have just finished a semi custom Howa 300wsm (Howa 300wsm, Wild Dog SL stock and Harrels brake, honed trigger etc. ) you can read about it in Victorian Deer hunter Mag( I think it travels across the Tasman) taking a nice Sambar at 212...not exactly LR but very decisive with the 180gn SST... Happy with its performance 110 gn recovery. I might pass on this build although I love the quality/triggers and actions over some others out there. Stocks are another issue for the Howa platform .. fine if its a short action like my wsm.. Bell and Carlson make a weatherby Mk 5 style one any other ideas? [/QUOTE]
