[QUOTE=".358 NM, post: 1057826, member: 86757"] It is many roads into the mm enthusiasm, one solid US made argument with Swedish -Norwegian pedigree is the 7x61S&H. Phil Sharpe were in the US Army during ww2 and he came across a French experiment rifle. it was in a Arsenal, maybe St Etienne, not sure of it now . the rifle looked like Chauchat and the case were belt less and looked like something not possible to think of ca pre 1914 as the rifle designe were from . He took the hard way first, making cases from .300 H&H without belt on, but he kept the belt in making it hold better and not ruin the cases in machining process. Without knowing it , a legend was born and he got Schultz & Larsen into making rifles. Since Weatherby also had lot to do with them, in making the .378 Wby at their new designed M56A magnum lock , it is understandable why the 7x61 and 7mm Wby share many similarities. There is many others to look up on also. But here is something i would think harder on. 280 Rem, 280 AI, 7mm Rem, 7mm Wby, 7x61, 7x61 Super. The Rum ones leave much to save barrel cost on. One have to have special barrels for them in my mind and that cost a bit much If i were to make something new, i would shorten the 375 Ruger a little bit and neck it own. not like the 7 LRM , but a little bit moddied one . Get the same of the 7x66 Vom Hofe in a modern case that is easy to find in the US. I wil lget more edited in here later. [/QUOTE]
