[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 682003, member: 29890"] The short answer, Remington is cheap. I suspect if they discontinue the 7mm rum in chromoly that they will discontinue all rum and lapau sized chamberings in chromoly. Chromoloy is much tougher/ harder than 416r ss, it takes longer to contour, chamber, crown, lap, etc... this is why lots of gunsmiths prefer not to use it, it is harder on and wares out tooling faster. If it wasn't tough though the military would be using 416r instead of 4140 in the M16s. [/QUOTE]
