[QUOTE="long ranger, post: 1166, member: 800"] Tim I have tryed on numerous occasions to rechamber used 7rem mag barrels from various makers and have had poor to say the least end results. I don't know why but it just never seems to work as well as new chamber in a new barrel. My advice is to either leave your 7 rem alone or to spend the money and rebarrel properly. Be aware that the STW is like a 220 Swift in respect to the life expectancy of the barrel. Is 200 fps really worth the expence? I have built several of both STWs and Rems both shooting 160 gr bullets the difference in velocity across the cronograph was an average of 270 fps with good accuracy.Certainly you can get more fps but generally the grouping increases in size [/QUOTE]
