[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1532673, member: 30902"] I'm still a huge fan of the 7mm STW, it is my all time favorite. The 28 Nosler is a great round and Ruger/Hornady will almost certainly be coming out with a 7mm PRC any day now. The 7LRM is a good cartridge but you are limited to proprietary brass from one source, it's over priced and availability is spotty at best. A straight 7mm-375 Ruger which is what the LRM is based on would be a much better choice in my mind over the LRM because you are then not trapped into buying the overpriced Gunwerks brass and you can easily just neck down to 7mm in a couple of steps using a couple .338RCM and .30RCM neck dies. It also will gain you a few extra grains in case capacity over the LRM. There are reamer specs out there already as quite a few people have been building wildcat 7mm-375 Rugers. The 7mm-300wm is also becoming a very popular option. I'd stick with the STW or the 7mm-375 Ruger if it were me, the first because I love it and the second because I love the case. Hornady or Redding will build you custom dies for around 175-185.00 if you provide them the specs. I have a set of Hornady custom dies and I've really enjoyed them. [/QUOTE]
