[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 240456, member: 9172"] I have owned Remmys, and loaded for many more, and have had only 1 with a problem......and got ZERO help from Remington 7mmSTW Stainless/fluted/synthetic. I took it on trade as partial payment for a tranny job. I started to do the load development. I neck size only, and when I got back to the range the shells would only fit in the gun at random. First it would not fit, I would clear the gun and try the same round again and it would fit. I then put a mark an the case head at 12 0'clock on one that fit and started to index the mark clockwise. It would fit at 12 and 6, but not at 3 and 9 o'clock......simple.....chamber out of round, or egg shaped, or whatever you want to call it. I confermed this with a micrometer. I tried to FL size the brass and had the same result. I am guessing that either my FL die didn't get close enough to the belt, the actual belt was also messed up, or both. I talked to a Rem rep and he had me send the gun back. It came back about 6 weeks later with 3 fired brass and a note that said "no problem found":mad: I called them back and they dug up the paperwork. I TRIED to explain the problem. They said the gun fires fine....When asked if he understood the problem, and he said AGAIN....gun functioned properly....no problem found!!!!:mad::mad: He said if reloads won't work in the the gun, it was MY problem....not thiers...factory shells fire fine. This is the VERY short and condenced version.....We went around and around..... That was the end of it for me......I sold the gun to a guy who will NEVER reload. He likes his shiny new factory shells. How N L a profesional at remmington could handle a problem that way is beond me. [/QUOTE]
