[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1033373, member: 2939"] Harley, I loaded for 7 mag for many years back when shooting was cheap and I shot a lot. Then I acquired a 7STW wildcat before it became official. I owned a chrono and when the 7 mag is popping the primer to get a FPS the 7stw is not even breaking out in a sweat. I had a slower twist and mine favored 160+ bullets I zeroed in on 175's and perfected them. The old story about something being more efficient is ...................... I can down load a big volume case and match the fps of a near over pressure small case. It is like comparing a 30-06 to a 300 win mag. If you are going to rebarrel get the 28 inch. It is also another source of free FPS. [b]I agree with this quote yes, but the 7rem is hamstrung by the fact that it was introduced when the best powder available to load an overbore round like that was 7828..... That's hardly a slow burning powder compared to many of the better mag. powders available today. Slow burners like rl33, rl25, retumbo, and ramshot magnum were not really available[/b] [/QUOTE]
