Hmmm, does sound interesting. Have any pics of the gun? And wondering what a 'Wyatts box' is. . . . . . .

But very interesting in this type of build for ideas here.

O, so that's a 'Wyatt box'. . . . . not a bad looking action!

I opted for the 7 over the 300 for my personal preference... to me the 30 cals don't shine for longer range applications until you get over 180 grains, and the WSM cases just aren't ideal for the heavy for caliber bullets. The 7WSM case also holds a couple grains more powder over the 300

I'm using reloader 22, IIRC 67 grains

The Wyatt's box let's you get a COL of 3.00", so one can seat the bullets out of the case a little farther to make more room for powder.

7mm, Hmmm, never really thought of it that way, but you DO have a good point! I will do a little reseach and some thinking about that. Great idea!
Nice looking rig by the way. I like it.
Have you chrono'd it?
You have me rethinking my plans!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

A 7WSM would be sweet.
I've never owned one but might rebarrel one of my 300WSM's to a 7.
