[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2886070, member: 12443"] Well you could buy 300 or 340 Wetherby brass and neck it down to 7mm very easily. Then you will have an older version of the 7 STW. The 7x300 Wetherby is what caused the death of the 6.5x300 Wetherby for long range hunters, after Hornady introduced their 162 gr bthp bullet in the late 60s. The BC of the original bullet was .725. About 5 years later for some reason they redesigned the bullet and reduced the BC by about 100. I still have a box or so of the originals and quite a few of the gen. 2 version. Put the 2 bullets side by side and there is a noticeable difference in the shape of them. But the fact is that even the one with the lower BC shoots flatter out to 1200 yards in both my 7x300 and my grandsons 7mm ultra mag than a 180 Berger does. So ask yourself how far has your longest kill has been? And if you expect one longer, best to get more gun to start with anyway. [/QUOTE]
