[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 651943, member: 25605"] 7LRM is made by gunwerks. They are doing the gunsmithing on my pierce action, benchmark barrel, and tactical muscle break right now. I think they are very reasonable. The 7LRM is a proproetary cartrige and is based on a necked down (with different dimensions) 375 Ruger. They have headstamped brass from hornady and hornady comp dies. This will send a 180gr berger to 3100-3150fps where a 7wsm to the same pressures all else equal will do 2850-2950. This is an easy 200fps gain in a standard magnum reciever (300 win mag length) and will work with the normal 3.6" COAL needed to feed out of most magnum magazines. When berger comes out with there 195 hybrid hunting bullet this will send it to 2950 and will have between 1500-1600 ft lbs of energy at 1000 yards. If your magazine is a magnum and not a wsm then all you have to do is do a simple rebarrel. you can get barrel blanks from bugholes.com in a few days from $330 and the chamber, crown and thread is $250 from gunwerks. Brass is ~$1.25 a piece (half of what dakota brass is) and isnt much different from other quality brass prices. You can stick with your 300 wsm just fine but it has to have the twist to shoot the 190-210 class bergers to really be viable. if it cant stablize these then I would just rebarrel it. I rebarreled my sako 75 from a 25-06 to a 280AI with a benchmark barrel and it shot lights out. I sold it to MTNRUNNER and he can attest to the excellent accuracy claims. The choice is yours but its hard to turn down. You can also purchase loaded ammo from gunwerks if you dont want to reload. [/QUOTE]
