[QUOTE="L.Sherm, post: 1950704, member: 102083"] I've got a 6.5x300wsm and I love this cartridge it shoots awesome great for a hunting round not one to sit at the bench and bang away with. I believe the 7wsm is about .040 longer at the shoulder and I bet they do that so you can't chamber one in a 300wsm My advise is to stay on the 300-270 wsm line because of brass and die availability if nothing else. Right now Norma is your best option hopefully ADG or Peterson come out with brass. 0n brass i use Winchester but I have to do a full case prep on it. For dies all you have to do is use a 300wsm bushing die and if you use expanders then have the 6.5 one installed. I wouldn't go the unturned neck route to thick of necks they will be about. 016 to hard to control neck tension. My second go round with a .296 neck chamber and .292 loaded round works great. I would also suggest .180- .200 freebore for 140 class and up bullets. [/QUOTE]
