[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1485879, member: 12995"] If you like Remington, you should look into the 700 5R Milspec in .300 WinMag.

I had mine built in 2014, and love it. You fireform brand new .300 Wby brass, and it requires zero prep work on the brass. You just load a book starting load, and pull the trigger. Easiest wildcat there is to form brass for.
