[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1124634, member: 12995"] 7mm STW would be a simple and easy re-chamber... The .28 Nosler or 7RUM...Not as simple. The 7mm STW is based on the .300 H&H, same as the 7mm RemMag, .300 WinMag, etc... The .28 Nosler is based on the RUM cases (which are based off the .404 Jeffery case), which are non-belted, and larger in diameter. That means that if the gunsmith is converting a standard magnum (.300 H&H-based) to a Nosler or RUM caliber, then you will have to open up the feed rails on the bottom of the action, and replace the magazine box and follower with a RUM mag box and follower. Going from 7mm RemMag to .28 Nosler is not hard or super expensive, but it is not as simple as just a barrel swap or a re-chamber, like it would be if you were going from 7mm RemMag to 7mm STW.
