[QUOTE="pacowboy, post: 1332442, member: 8669"] My favorite is what Layne Simpson probably got the idea from to make the 7 STW and my gun pre-dates the 7STW. The case dimensions are just a few thousandths off from each other. I use a 7mm-300 Weatherby Mag. This cartridge was designed by Howard Wolfe of Pennsylvania I believe in the late 60's. Mary Louise Devito set a world record at the Williamsport 1k with it in I think 1972 or '73. Been a while since I researched it. The only downfall is this is not a commercial cartridge. Still considered a wildcat. It is different than the 7mm Weatherby as 7mm Wby case is shorter than the 300WBY. Why Roy didn't just neck down a 300 Weatherby I don't know. But my gun is deadly accurate with a Interarms Mark X action and Douglas barrel. My dad and uncle built my gun when I was just a kid back in the late 1970's. [/QUOTE]
