1956……8mm Level……extractor was broken….had a piece of curtain rod to ram down the barrel to push the fired shell out…might be why i don’t shoot ML’s!!

Here’s a pic of 416 to 7 in steps.

I’ve made 7STW from 416 REM, 375H&H and 300H&H, as well as the parent the Rem 8mm mag which was the standard before it was commercialized. The 416 is tricky, at least for me, several inserts into a 375 neck die, with plenty of lube, to keep the shoulder from collapsing, then into my 8mag die...

I had 4X bypass on Nov 4 1997 when I was 54. Had the same questions for my surgeon who was an ultra marathoner. He listened carefully, “nothing heavier than 8# and enjoy. I missed PA buck season, killed a doe with my 8# 7X57 from a lawn chair. My buddy drove me to my stand and field dressed...

Started in 1992 with my STW. Rem 700 with a 26” Douglas air gauged barrel. 140 Nosler BT @ 3425, very effective from 30yards to 350.

I have had a VariX 3 3.5 X 10 on my Rem 700 in 8 mag for about 25 years. It does quite ok. Really like it for up close and no problem if I want to stretch it out. All in what you get used to I guess.

Like Yobuck been hunting in PA a long time, since 1955.....legally! Grandfather had a farm, started really early....now live in FL for the last 10 years and still make the trek back for bear and deer. Personally, I wish the Commissioners would just leave well enough alone, hunting hours used...

With 140 Nosler BT, 85 gr H1000, 3425, 1”@ 100.
