[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1256940, member: 2736"] This is an older post that doesn't want to go away, And for a good reason. I personally looked at all of the options on brass availability of the 7 WSM and chambers to replace it If I shot out my barrel or ran out of 7 WSM head stamped brass. I even tried a few of the other WSM cases in the 7 WSM chamber. It is very easy to load and shoot 300 or 325 WSM brass in the 7 WSM. Simply size the neck down to 7mm and leave the neck .004 shorter to support the case with the proper head space and shoot. If done correctly you can fire form and hunt at the same time with very good accuracy. All of the WSM cases are the same case overall length and fire forming is easy. If you want a wildcat you do this buy head spacing the chamber to the parent case (Like a 300 WSM) and size the neck to 7mm. This will not require fire forming but you will lose some case capacity and velocity. If I ever have to re barrel my rifle, I will chamber it in 7 WSM and use available WSM brass. (Simple) In my experiences you can form/use brass from other cases to form most cartridges. The only downside is that the case head will have a different cartridge designation than the chamber and will have to be fire formed. I personally don't think the 7 WSM is dead because it is a very good round and most people that have it will do what is necessary to keep shooting it. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
