Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the words of wisdom.

I would agree with you that it is unrealistic to achieve the same precision out of new brass vs fired brass, however, I am meeting my own personal expectations with other rifles of other calibers. This particular belted mag is the only rifle I own that does not meet my expectations. Would all...

I hadn't thought of that. I will research it a little bit. Thank you.

I am not worried about the case stretch of this caliber causing a problem. If the initial loading of new brass produced a 3/8" group like the once fired brass does, I wouldn't care if it stretched a mile as long as it didn't seperate, but it produces a 1" inch group instead. That is not...

I don't know if I would have ever noticed such a scenario if I wasn't taking some precise measurements before and after firings of my cartridges. The brass shows no physical signs what-so-ever. I just always try to set up my rifle dies to slightly bump the shoulder back every time, so I...

Are there any feeding issues from an internal magazine with these cartridges?

I was doing some reading and I saw where someone was forming 300 win mag brass to 7mm brass. With properly set dies, this gentlemen claimed to achieve a shoulder headspace custom to his chamber. It was an old post so I can't just ask him about it. Have you ever heard of doing this and what...

Mudrunner, thank you for the response. This chamber is cut to spec. This is a Rem Sendero in 7mm mag. I once thought what you did when I first tried to reload for this rifle. A headspace measurement taken with a Hornady headspace gauge on new Rem unfired brass was x measurement. A once...

Hey guys. I am getting ready to build a 7mm long range rifle. I have had the barrel on order for some time, and krieger's estimated delivery was in July, but it looks like it just shipped yesterday, so I guess I better get with the program deciding what caliber to build. I initially was going...
