Nice work man. I figured it would be pretty straight forward.
Now do 500 and send them to me for turning please.

My all time favorite the 7LRM. Too bad Hornady killed it with their crappy brass.Then there's the fact that the 7LRM actually does eclipse the performance of a 7mm Rem Mag, and if we're in a long action anyway... I think would have been a better choice to build great brass around. Now, with the 7 PRC's arrival... will never happen. So, the 7 PRC will take over, deservingly or not.
Remains to be seen if it will be deserving. If they don't get Lapua or Alpha to make cases for it... I will likely not recommend it. A 7mm-300PRC would seem the best place to be for magnum bolt face performance, as Lapua brass seals the deal.
I bet if I build some custom bushings... I could pull off making 7LRM cases from a 300PRC.

You've been shooting it for what, 50 years??? grins....Guess I'll stick with my beloved 7 Mashburn Super. The round was first catted about 70 years ago....
I do miss Bob talking about it. great guy
4 sure Kimber, they broke the mold with him! I do miss our weekly chats. Our talks with him calling me one day and saying tell me about your Mash. I sent him my reamer and off we went
And yeah it's 50 years at least, a fair number or Schneiders....

Hornady has said it will be introduced in Oct, but who knows, (Oct 14th I was told)
I got an email back from Peterson Cartridge they will make brass in early 2023, Whidden and Redding dies are available to order now, I have a Manson Reamer, I bought 50 pieces of RCC Brass so I can load something as soon as my rifles built, just have to drop the parts off to the gunsmith,
First build will be a Sako A7 (300 win mag) donor with a 24 inch #2 contour 1-8 twist Benchmark Barrel.
160gr Nosler Accubonds, 175gr Berger Elite hunter, 3.337"
Cartridges loaded in a Sako A7 mag box from a 300 win mag donor
