[QUOTE="TMR, post: 679247, member: 5819"] The 7mm LRM is basically a 375 Ruger case necked down. It should perform closely with a little shorter OAL. The 7 Rogue is right at 3.6" oal with a 180 Berger. Still fits in a standard mag box and AI mags as well. At the time, Gunwerks was not going to sell brass separately, not sure if that is the case any more or not. I did do some work with the 375 case, but the number of steps it took to bring down to what I wanted, I knew few folks were not going to want to go through the process. 300WM brass is inexpensive and case forming is easy with the 7 Rogue. Those were 2 of the many things I was looking for. If Gunwerks is selling ready made brass, then their 7 LRM is a great option as well. Keep in mind, that what I am running now is a reduced forming load at almost 3150 and shoots well under 1/2moa. Certainly exceptable practice and hunting loads for sure. The belt on this case is purely cosmetic and not even used. I agree and do prefer non belted cases, but in this case, it was a good parent case that was readily available. There really are no sizing issue's, partly due that the dies are setup exactly for the reamer. Wildcatting is fun. Already have a few more in the works that I hope to get running this winter.
