[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 864033, member: 12995"] Personally......I would be sure to have components OR factory loaded ammo at my disposal (at my house) and ready for when that rifle was done being built. Just my opinion. Also, if you look hard enough you can find 7mmSTW brass. All you really have to do is go find some Nosler 8mm Remington Magnum brass and run it through a 7mm STW die before loading. Plus, it's cheaper than the STW brass is, even though they're 100% identical, minus the diameter of the neck. 7mm bullets are available. Just check around. And powder and mag primers should be readily available. In the end it's up to you. I have 2 7RM's and an STW. And I'm fixing to build another 7RM (lightweight 700 whitetail rig) with a 26" sporter barrel, and everything trued up. Thinking about turning the Browning A-Bolt II into a lightweight .257 Wby Mag. Might just leave it alone since it's the replacement rifle for the first one I ever bought, that got stolen back in '08. I might leave it a 7RM for sentimental value, even though it's not the original...But it's close enough to it. [/QUOTE]
