[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 3047070, member: 103742"] Really... it's what do you want to reload for question??? How custom do you want to go? I have a 7 WSM on a Rem Titanium action that was supposed to be a lightweight gun but turned out fairly heavy. BUT... my other 7 WSM is a Browning Mtn Ti but it's for the purpose of ultralightweight carrying. So going short action is more for that in my opinion. 7 prc... sorry... having a tough time buying into the argument that it's better then a 7 RM or even 7 WSM. But I don't own one yet. Thinking 300 PRC first. On the bigger 7 mm side, I rechambered a Sako Finnlight from 7 RM to 28 Nosler and eventhough it's a 23.5 barrel, I am ecstatic with its performance. The cartridge feeds beautifully from the magazone with no modifications. Accurate as heck and factory ammo is available even up here in Saskatchewan. Right now I just have so 150 Barnes TTSX loaded up for it. But u have a bunch of 168 trainers to try out. I think I have a bit of an aversion to the 7 STW only because it was the gun writer Layne Simpson (I think it was him) who promoted it so much it was ridiculous only because he was so involved in it becoming a factory cartridge. And 1 guy I knew (friend of a friend) had one that he swore up and down that it killed deer on the moon because he could just hold dead on because it was so flat. Yet... according to my friend... his deer tags seemed to get hung more often then not on the Christmas tree (so hmmmmm????) But honestly... nothing wrong with it. I have been tempted to rechamber a ruger no 1 in 7 RM to it. But... if you want the availability of cheap brass (relatively cheap anyways)... performance out of a 26" barrel, you want all the velocity you can get, and your reloading anyways... consider the 7-300 Weatherby. It's been a deadly long range wildcat for YEARS. 28 Nosler is awesome but brass... is pricey. At least you can make 7 STW brass easily enough. [/QUOTE]
