Gamehawker, I have thought about it enough, that it has confused me enough to not not do it. I get confused on just getting the bushings dies that do not use a expander ball when resizing, but then, you need to turn the necks to get UNIFORM tension. I have not ran into case neck uniformity issues, as of yet. But usually when I run into neck tension issues, the cases have been fired enough that I discard them and start over with new brass. My brass life has been pretty good, except Federal brass. Three firings maybe, and that brass is usually toast.
If I were to use them, it would probably be for my .308, or 22-250, that I get a lot more brass life out of. And let's face it, that whole set up isn't cheap either. A lot of the bench guys do it, and I understand that, but at least for me, in THIS caliber, I don't feel the need. I understand it in principal, but as " Riverman " said, I'd probably wreck a bunch of good brass anyway.
P/S, Are you done hunting for the year? muzzleloading comes in for you next week dosen't it? Then you have a season in January for rifle season for three days too!
I might take a ride that weekend. Hehe!!!!

Blacksheep, those are both beauties, the gun and the Elk of course. And they both look good on your wall !!!!!. Like I said before, there's a lifetime of memories there, I know I would never forget it. Good job buddy!!
Happy Holidays!!!!

Red hawk makes nice rifles, sweet. Lots of guys loving vortex, but there are many scopes and price points depending on your distance and weight/scope size preference. Good luck.

on a scale 1-10 I would say I'm a 7 in LRH... I'm on the fence whether I should go with #4 ret or try one of them new fangled bdc ret's

Hey that is one sweet looking rifle, how much does she weigh?
If you are wanting to get the most out of your STW scope wise I would go dial up.

Having been a member here for a couple of years and having been a 7mm STW shooter since about 1990 I can't believe I"m just now coming across this thread.
This is the STW I started with. It came from the Remington custom shop since they were not chambering any of their regular rifles in 7mm STW at the time. 26" magnum taper barrel with the sorry remington factory brake.
I'm on my last couple of boxes of 140gr Winchester Supreme (out of a full case I bought long ago) and this rifle has been my "go to" for hogs, deer, and coyotes beyond 500yds. My .204 Ruger and .220 swift take care of the varmints inside that range with ease.
I also recently found here on the LRH classifieds one of our members selling an old M700 Sharpshooter chambered in 7mm STW which I will soon be spending some time getting to know.
The bobcat in the picture above was killed with this rifle at almost just over 900yds.
The stock is factory, but heavily modified, stiffened with devcon, a stainless rod and lead shot mixed with the devcon.
The scope is a zeiss conquesst 4.5-14x44 mil dot.
Having read the bulk of this thread now I feel quite at home with "The Brotherhood of 7mm STW fans".

That bobcat and long range shot is awesome, i like the paint job on the rifle too. That zeiss scope must work well. Congrats on a nice shot.
