[QUOTE="Rockfish Dave, post: 1064217, member: 14257"] Yes, so long as it is a standard magnum bolt face. If you are asking if a barrel can be, then if it is a 284 blank yes. If you plan on rechambering, in most cases yes. The parent cartridge is the 375 Ruger. The case is modified by necking down and pushing the shoulder back. The case overall length is also reduced by .06" . The case compared to the 7RM is the same case length, but with the longer neck it is able to seat the long high BC bullets out of the powder collumn and still feed from standard AICS 300WM magazines. Everything I have read says this is a dead ringer for the 7RM ballistically, some saying it beats it by a small margin. Brass is available through [URL="http://www.gunwerks.com/"]Gunwerks[/URL] (for 1.36/ea) and [URL="http://primalrights.com/"]Primal Rights, Inc :: Home[/URL](1.30/ea). Loaded ammo is also available through gunwerks, but it is $$$$! For me personally I choose what caliber based on brass. I went 284 Shehane b/c the 6.5-284 brass was readily available through Lapua. I would have preferred a 7 SAUM or WSM but hearing about people not finding brass swayed me to the Shehane. The 7LRM is doable with standard 375 brass as well as available from the above venders, and not belted, so for me it is GTG. My 284 Shehane will soon be a switch barrel with the 7LRM. [/QUOTE]
