[QUOTE="stapleen, post: 937477, member: 31736"] Hey guys. I am getting ready to build a 7mm long range rifle. I have had the barrel on order for some time, and krieger's estimated delivery was in July, but it looks like it just shipped yesterday, so I guess I better get with the program deciding what caliber to build. I initially was going to build a 7mm mag, but I don't care for the problems I have experienced in the past with this caliber. I am referring to the amount of stretch this case seems to have upon initial firing with new brass and a chamber headspaced off the belt. My question is, will I still end up with this same scenario in a 7mm stw chambering? Does the available 7mm stw brass on the market stretch as much as the 7mm mag does initially? I have no problems with the 7mm mag once that initial firing is completed and I then start headspacing off the shoulder. I just don't like the wasted step of initially firing new brass. The little experience I have with this, it produced a less than acceptable accuracy in my opinion. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
