[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1025485, member: 12995"] 1) The brass should sell on here in the classifieds with no problem. 2) They both use the same .540" bolt face (one of my 7mm STW's was built off a Rem 700 7RUM action). 3) No, that is a myth...Belted cases can last just as long as non-belted. Belted or not, makes no contributing factor to case life. Properly cut chamber with a properly maintained and spec'd reamer, properly adjusted dies, how hot your reloads are, annealing or not annealing, brand of brass, quality of that particular run of brass, etc... can all be contributing factors to how long your brass will last. It's pretty much an unknown factor that changes from brand-to-brand, and from lot-to-lot. I use Nosler 7mm STW brass. I've had really good luck with it. The only brand I will NOT recommend is Federal STW brass. It seems to be very thin where the walls meet the web, and has bad case/head seperation problems (atleast, in my experience). [/QUOTE]
