[QUOTE="blkfrd, post: 2102822, member: 85974"] I replied to this thread back in '14. I had K&P Barrels in South Dakota re-barrel a Remington 700 to 7mm STW back in '93 using a benchrest profile in stainless (I see they are still in business). I had to use 7mm Mag dies to re-size the case since it was still a wildcat at that time. I used to neck down and fire-form 8mm Mag cases and then just resize the neck with the dies during re-loading. I retired 4 months ago and have been bringing out my reloading stuff and am starting to get the bug again. I plan to make up some loads that worked really well as a varmint round...81 gr H4831 and 120 gr Nosler ballistic tip resulting in 3620 fps and 3/8" groups. Best shooting rifle that I ever had re-barreled as far as consistency goes...I will never get rid of this rifle. I hope I remember how to re-load. It's been a long while. I live in So Cal and would like to go somewhere in and West or Northwest to go varmint hunting so if you have any suggestions i'd like to hear about it. I travel to CA, CO, WY, MT, NM, ID, etc to go fly fishing so why not mix in some varmint hunting during the trips also! [/QUOTE]
