Ever hear about anybody making one and shooting it ?

I did some searching. Yes indeed, a few people have built these. Comments and reactions are generally as expected.
Interesting cartridge.

Nope. Just heard of speculation actually from the one guy on their weatherby podcast. That's all

Thats a good one I thought about because the boltface will work.I'm going head out there into Left Field and suggest the .308 Norma Mag. Entirely because I'm partial to it and will completely ignore any other .308 cal mag chambers on nostalgia alone.

How often are you rebarreling? Better question how many rounds is the barrel life.?
Not many.... hahahaha. But they make new barrels every day

I completely understand that. I just purchased a new Proof Research Carbon barrel. I'd like to not do that too often if I can help it.Not many.... hahahaha. But they make new barrels every day

It will last a lifetime for me. It's a killing machine not an everyday shooter. I have other cartridges for that. 6.5x300 gets a load it shoots great then goes hunting. After I'm done hunting with it. Clear her up and put away. Unless I want to play with another bullet. Then I will find that load and put her away again. 750 round barrel life is probably 400 more rounds that I'll ever put through her.

The 7STW will work in the 700 RUM action. You straighten the feed lips on a Wyatt CFE-9 box and use a forged Remington ultramag follower. This works with the RUM action's feed lips. I have done three. They work fine and don't rattle with cartridges up to 3.9 oal.
