[QUOTE="demented, post: 333012, member: 21609"] Thanks to all for the advice, perspectives, information. I hope to be able to contribute a bit of info here but am sure that many here know far more than I ever will. I've loaded thousands of .308 and .223 as well a quite a few 30-06 and 270's over the years. As I said magnum loads are entirely new and to be honest their case size and capacity is a bit intimidating! I doubt magnums are any more dangerous than regular cartridge when reloaded but there is still that WOW factor thats hard to dismiss. One serious problem for me if and when I attempt to develop a load is that here in Podunk, finding several different powders to try will be a tad difficult. So far my powder selection is both 4831's and 4350, thats it. I barely located enough magnum primers to start, brass is in short supply (need more) and bullets are usually a backorder from Midway. Took me five months to get 500 Remington Cor-Loks to do some 30-30's I'd been wanting to do. Add all this plus the seemingly lack of performance of the 7mm and I had about decided it wasn't worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
