[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 268451, member: 5219"] I sure hope a few shooters chime in. Interesting how things pop up like this. I am interested because my friend and I are putting together two rifles that will have 30" 7mm barrels. Mine will be a 7 Rem Mag and his will be a 7 STW. Now for the puzzle. He talked to Dave Kiff about the reamer and some details. Dave said there is a high probability that the 30" barrels will suffer from excessive pressure issues with both the 7 Rem Mag and the 7 STW. He said that a 28" barrel will not have this possible issue. HUH? I have read, on several occasions, that the factories keep the 7 Rem Mag pressures down a bit because the 7 Rem mag can be erratic. That makes the 7 STW and 7 RUM even more so. I have a 7 STW and had a 7 RUM but I moly coated the bullets. Never had an issue with either, though the barrels were 26". We can only shoot them when they are completed and find out for ourselves. We could always convert to moly too. I hope several members contribute to this question. [/QUOTE]
