[QUOTE="abinok, post: 58549, member: 16"] What brass is better?7mag or 338mag,and what brand? I tried 3 types of brass. 7mm rem mag brass, remington brand 7mm Remington mag federal once fired. and 338 Win mag once fired, winchester brand. I ended up using the new remington brass, since all I had to do was run it into a 300WM fl sizing die, then neck size for the bullet pull I wanted. I don't have to worry about turning or reaming the neck to control neck thickness. The remington also seemed to have a bit tighter primer pocket as well. Also what is the case length. 2.500, no matter what case you use. And last,how much free bore. Um... im not sure what you mean by this question. If you mean how far from the lands to seat the bullet, whatever works best. Is this a rifle you already have, or are you trying to decide on a chambering? If you are doing a build,you can always cut the throat with a seper ate reamer after you do the chamber for whatever freebore you want, with whatever bullet you want. Most of the work I did with this caliber was longrange deer and paper loads using SMK's, and reduced recoil practice loads. [/QUOTE]
