[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2418547, member: 66917"] Shot one for years starting back in the early 90s. We used to make cases out of 300 Weatherby cases before it was SAAMI spec'd. I guess one could still do that today in a pinch, you just have to add a fire forming step. Mine was built on a McMillan Rem 700 Mountain Rifle Stock, 700 Long Action, and a 26in 1:9 Shilen SS barrel, no brake. Later in life the Shilen was replaced with a Douglas Premium SS. They both shot great, just very finicky on loading steps and powder/bullet/neck tension combos. If I was building one today I'd use a longer action to get a 3.7+ inch magazine. The magazine length was always an issue for all 3 rifles we built back in the day. The STW should be right at home with the evolution of all the new heavy for caliber 7mm bullets. I would think it would spin a Berger 180 VLD out at 3000+ fps easily. [/QUOTE]
