Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles The 7mm Rem Mag thoughts.

Sure...more of a question on my part in doing what I`ve done.
As I mentioned here, have had a 7 Wby for a few years, really like it. Had a PAC-NOR replace the original Rem barrel, was originally a Classic, but that is a long story, but thought the lead in the Wby was a bit to much for SOME bullets. So, bought a take off 7 Rem Mag from a member here, ran the throat out to match the Wby`s. In doing so, am able to match the Wby velocites utilizing the entire Rem case capacity. I just start the load process at the starting velocities for Wby and proceed with normal work-ups. I have a load utilizing Retumbo and pushing a 160 Sierra TMK at 3190. SAFE in MY rifle...so gaining about 100fps or so. Also just tested some 175 Sierra`s at 200, excellent accuracy, have not run over the cronie.
Don`t know if this is worth it, so thought to ask Bob.
For someone who hand loads, and wants a bit more out of the old girl, might be a way to go with out changing much or costing a lot.
BTB, I do have two 700`s, one the Wby the other the Rem Mag.
Do not know about SAMMI specs, but so for no surprises.
