[QUOTE="adam32, post: 1339090, member: 9467"] Do you need to have factory brass or are you ok with having to form/fireform? Lets look at the capacity numbers... 7mm/378 Wby - 130gr Lazzeroni Firebird - 126gr 7mm-338 Lapua Improved - 120gr 7mm-338 Lapua - 113gr 7mm RUM - 112gr 7mm-338 Norma - 105-108gr 7mm STW - 100gr 28 Nosler - 100gr 7mm Dakota - 93.5gr 7mm-300 Winny - 92gr So as far as factory available brass/ammo, the Firebird has the next closet beat by 14gr. The 7mm-378 Wby bests the Firebird by 4 grains but will take custom dies and forming brass to do it. There's no replacement for displacement...especially when shooting big heavy bullets. The Lazz has approx 26% more capacity than the STW... [/QUOTE]
