[QUOTE="arch408, post: 3077758, member: 59036"] If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! If you are happy with the 7mm, stick with it. I like my belted mags, but I have never been a fan of the mag belts. Too many variables when reloaded. If you set your die to headspace off the belt, you run the risk of setting the shoulder back every time you resize and can lead to easily case head separations. So I always set my dies so that chamber with minimal bolt resistance. and carefully watch for case stretch and trim when necessary. If you rebarrel, you can choose any rifling twist you want. I love my 7mm STW, but I would probably go with a 7 PRC or a 28 Nosler just to get rid of that darn pelt. My current build is a 7 SAUM on a Solus action. Already have a 6.5 RM so I don’t need the 6.5 PRC. I won’t use it on elk and the 120 gr spitzer is deadly on deer. If I ever need to rebarrel it, i’ll probably build a 6.5 PRC [/QUOTE]
