[QUOTE="blkfrd, post: 2883422, member: 85974"] I had a Remington 700 re-barreled by K&P in South Dakota to 7 mm STW about 30 years ago. My buddy showed me the article in Shooting Times Westerner by Layne Simpson and we both decided to build rifles using this round. I had to use 7mm Mag dies to re-size the case since it was still a wildcat at that time. I used to neck down and fire-form 8mm Mag cases and then just resize the neck with the dies during re-loading. Best varmint load for accuracy while maintaining good velocity was: 8mm Mag brass necked down to 7mm and fire formed 79 or 81 gr H4831 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip Federal Magnum Primer 3.750 COL .015 out of lands 3620 fps 3/8" groups I worked up a hunting round also that shot very well. Best shooting rifle that I ever had re-barreled as far as consistency goes...I will never get rid of this rifle. [/QUOTE]
