[QUOTE="drags, post: 1130531, member: 1895"] Two of my hunting buddies and myself had three 7x300 wby's built by Howard Wolfe now deceased but his son Bob builds these rifles now. We shot 168 gr. SMK in our rifles with 30" barrels that were a heavy varmint taper and recoil was not to bad. We used these in Pa. for long range deer hunting and they worked very well. One of the rifles could get 3400 fps with a stiff charge of 7828 but the load was to hot for the other two rifles, but we didn't have a problem getting 3250 fps plus with the other two rifles. The 7x 300 wby still has a good following among north central Pa. long range hunters and it would not be a mistake to build one. I also have a 300 wby with a 30" heavy sporter barrel and the recoil was pretty stiff using 190 gr. bullets at 3200 fps but after having a muzzle brake installed recoil was very tolerable but the 7x300 wby was a flatter shooting rifle. drags [/QUOTE]
