[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1082621, member: 12443"] The 7x300 weatherby is a very old wildcat at this point in time. Its a very simple straight foward design where the 300 wby case is simply run thru a 7x300 die. The dies are easily obtained thru RCBS without special ordering. As has been stated the 7stw also started life as a wildcat using the 8mm mag case. That cartridge however became a factory offering causing cases to be made specificly for it. Balisticly, there is no real differences between the 7x300 wby and the 7 stw. Both will have an advantage over the 7x300 win mag and a considerable advantage over the 7 rem mag. Ive owned 7x300 wbys. for well over 40 years at this point. Ive used them for long range hunting exclusivly and have seen lots of deer killed with them. But frankly if i were starting over today i wouldnt be owning any of the 7mms for hunting long range. There are simply much better bullets for the 30 calibers. Look at the results of the 1000 yd matches and see how few 7mms are used. Bruce Baer was the top gunsmith at williamsport for at least a decade. He simply had his fill of the demands of the target shooters and pretty much gave up that part of his business. But you will still find quite a few shooters using his guns. And several world records have been set with them. Look for the 308 Baer, or also the 284 Baer. Both built on the 340 weatherby case. So there are lots of good options in both 7mm and 30 cal without the Rums and STW. [/QUOTE]
