[QUOTE="7stw, post: 708422, member: 22854"] Tricky, that is all interesting info, and it's good to hear from you on this thread. I read quite a bit of your " contributions" on other threads, and always take something away from them. I have heard of the Mashburn round, but can not recollect how it compares to the seven mag, as far as capacity wise goes. Yeah, and that word " overbore" definitely is a touchy word for sure, but it lights a lot of fires on this forum, that's for sure. I suppose if someone was to " improve " on the STW with the changes you mentioned, it would add to the barrel life. Comparatively speaking, at least in my guns, I haven't really experienced premature throat or bore wear, in my STW's, but then again, for one, I never shoot them til they are hot, and I don't shoot " HOT" loads. Then again, I don't shoot them a thousand times either. I don't think that we have heard the last of the STW as a factory cartridge. In some ways, I think it is sort of resurging, because interest in the cartridge never really faded. It disappeared when the RUM came out, and I believe that was the only reason. In my opinion, I think the RUM is dead, and really did not catch on as it was intended to, but it is a shame that Remington dropped it when they introduced the 7 RUM. Take care, and as always, thanks for your input, very informative.:) [/QUOTE]
