[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2319785, member: 66917"] Yeah, we suffered from similar issues with our a lot of our previous builds, 7mm STWs, 300 WSMs. Plus the old STWs we had had magazines that were too short, so I had to single feed them, same issue with one of our 300 WSMs in an A7 Sako. None of the older cartridges are setup to use heavy for caliber bullets off the shelf. The industry is struggling to get up the speed with this new trend. The three new cartridges 6.5 PRC, 300 PRC, and the 6.8 Western are the first SAAMI ones to catch up to the new trend. I still had my smith use a fine throat cutter to set my bullet seating depth on my 6.5 PRC so I could use as much powder capacity as possible. [/QUOTE]
