[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1168077, member: 313"] 270WSM brass needs to be necked up to 30cal, then necked down to 7mm leaving a false shoulder on the neck in the correct position necessary to keep the shorter case held tightly against the boltface in a 7WSM chambered rifle. Then it can be fireformed. I've done it and it's a PITA. The vast majority of shooters would prefer to just order properly fitting brass with the correct headstamp on the case head. If no such brass is available from any manufacturer, it will greatly reduce the number of shooters opting for the 7WSM over other cartridges that have quality brass readily available. I really enjoy the 7WSM but in all practicality it won't do anything that other very similar cartridges can't do. Dead?? Not yet, I'm still hopeful that brass will become available and hopefully it will be produced by Lapua, Norma or Nosler. One good run and I'll buy enough brass to outlast my next barrel. :D [/QUOTE]
