Decent 200 yard group, pulled my 6th a bit. Likes the 180gr Berger @ 2975fps, 2.399" base to ogive. Plenty of room to go more if desired; didn't hit pressure until 3210fps.

I am thinking about what I have to trade this time. The one I have now is the twin to this without the proof barrel.

What's the advantage over a 7wsm? Nice rifle

What's the advantage over a 7wsm? Nice rifle

Glad you asked.
The 7mm-300WSM uses the same headspace as the 300WSM and 270WSM, which is
shorter than the standard 7WSM. The benefits are a longer neck to support the
longer heavier bullets and availability of good quality Norma brass, which the
plain 7WSM does not have. I make my cases out of 270WSM Norma. It doesn't
get any easier, simply take the 270WSM case and run it through a Redding
type S full length-sizing die for 270WSM with a 7mm expander (I'm including with the die set) with a .312 neck
bushing installed. Then prime the case and fill it with the preferred powder for the bullet
weight (For a 180 grain Berger I prefer H1000) then seat the bullet with
7mmWSM seating die.

Trades

I want to be up front: I am "open to trades", so let's set some standards.
I'm moving this rifle (and many other items) to free up capital for business venture and right now, this doesn't serve any purpose other than filling a spot in a very large safe where I'd rather have a stack of cash. If I do trade, it will be basically the same rig in a highly sought after caliber, with the intention of selling for capital gain.
The idea of parting with a rifle of this quality is uncomfortable, so offering a trade should affect the other person in kind. Therefore, I'm only open to trades of similar builds; lightweight, custom titanium action or ultralight steel custom action (Defiance), Proof Barreled, tactical-style hunters, in excellent condition that will move very quickly when I turn it around for sale which will happen. Sorry, gas guns won't be considered.
Thanks for understanding.

Wish I had what you need.
