[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1453916, member: 2736"] To save fire forming I would recommend buying the 7 WSM brass or loaded ammo. There are currently 2 brands of brass available for about .30 cents less than loaded ammo. I have a 7 WSM and find most loaded ammo shoots well in my rifle. (Good enough to hunt with). Once it is fired in my chamber, I can load this brass with my pet load for better accuracy. The only real difference in brass brands is their case life so the brand really doesn't matter if you can get good results with you loads. If you get the right brass and don't have to fire form you will extend the brass life buy at least one usable firing. The neck length seems to be a problem for some but it is plenty for the 7mm bullet. the only reason it is longer is because with the reduction in bullet diameter and the 35o shoulder and the same overall case length as the 300, the neck will be shorter and the case body will be longer. holding more powder and preventing it from being loaded in a 270 WSM. If you fire form any other WSM in a 7mm WSM chamber, All you have done is to add one firing to the brass. If you are considering the 7 WSM, Buy 2 or 300 rounds of brass or find a good factory loading and build a good brass supply. Like you I don't want to be held hostage to one brass manufacture but that is not the case currently. so make it easy on your self and stay with the 7 WSM brass and don't worry about all of the what If's. And If 7 WSM brass becomes unavailable, then substitute the 270 or 300 brass for it. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
