[QUOTE="brian11, post: 1764015, member: 112031"] Hello. I'm new to the site and found it while looking for some basic info on the 7mm-300 Win Mag cartridge. I just acquired a very nice looking custom K98 chambered in this caliber. Actually, I got it by accident, as it was at an estate auction and I read the description too quickly and didn't realize until after I'd submitted my bid that it wasn't 7mm. After I realized the actual caliber and how little info there is out there on it, I hoped to be outbid, but no one else bid, so I ended up getting it for the low starting bid, so at least that's a good start. It has a 26" heavy target barrel marked P.O. Ackley. No dies, brass or anything ammo-related came with it. From reading some of this thread (it's a LONG thread), I gather that 168 or 180 grain VLDs are a good choice for bullets. When I take possession of it, I'll have to measure the twist rate on it. For brass, to neck down some 300 Win Mag brass, I see 3 ways - get a CH4D neck die for that caliber, a Lee collet neck die in 300 WM with a 7mm collet, or a Redding bushing neck die in 300 WM with a 7mm bushing and perhaps an intermediary bushing, too. How are you guys making your brass? Thanks, Brian [/QUOTE]
