Will a 7LRM reamer "clean up" the chamber of a 7mm Rem Mag? It would be nice to be able to do that without having to set the barrel back or re thread it. Anybody know?
Ok, please tell me why. I understand that the practical thing to do is just stay with the 7mm Rem Mag. But can you point to other reasons?Do yourself a huge favor and forget about the 7 LRM.
Availability, make and cost of brass. Gunwerks is the only one that offer this brass which is made by Hornady and it's very expensive.Ok, please tell me why. I understand that the practical thing to do is just stay with the 7mm Rem Mag. But can you point to other reasons?

Been there and done that too with the 7LRM.Because there's only one source for brass and the brass is garbage. I've been down the 7 LRM path and I'm speaking from experience. It's not worth dealing with the brass . I'd do a 7-300 WM or throw the barrel off a cliff, where all the LRM brass belongs.
Supposedly ADG is now producing brass in 7LRM for GW.Availability, make and cost of brass. Gunwerks is the only one that offer this brass which is made by Hornady and it's very expensive.
I heard all the nay-saying too, like "why would you want to spend money to build what can be done better with a 7 Mag?" To that, I can confirm the 7 Mag cannot do it better, and because I wanted to build another rifle.Several years ago I posted a thread titled "School me on the 7 LRM" , or something like that. Every knowledge member here told me to steer clear, but I did it anyway. Very expensive education ensued.
H1000 was the clear winner, 73 grains produced velocities of 3072 , 3079 and 3072 . Very minor pressure signs and about a 1/2" group. I'll concentrate on fine tuning this load in the future.
