[QUOTE="freefloater59, post: 2173067, member: 74481"] A timely post, I'm on the brink of kicking off a rebuild and this discussion has pushed me over the edge. I've burned the throat out of my Win Pre 64 M70, 264 Mag, 22" Featherweight so I've been contemplating calibers that fit the long mag action. Great examples of ideas and I really like something in 7mm cal. I have another 264 mag so the and jump to 30 cals leaves the 7mm gap. My objective is to keep the Featherweight balance, something more mountain rifle handy, so the I've decided on the 7x61 Sharpe & Hart. Although not as sexy as many of the newer 7mm's it's a very efficient cartridge for a 7mm. I already have dies, brass and even a couple of boxes of original Norma ammo. I have an original Schultz & Larsen Mauser 7x61 S&H but with a 1/12 twist bbl (big mistake by Schultz & Larsen), but since I have other calibers to shoot 120~140 gr bullets, this build is 150 and heavier sizes and the right twist rate. I know the 7 Rem Mag may be a more rational choice, but I dont have the dies. Any other 7x61 S&H owners out there? [/QUOTE]
