The electronic 700 still makes me laugh to this day.

i used to own a Savage striker I had rebarreled to 7 BR. It was a lot of fun with 100 grain Hornadys on Squirrels. I have had a few XP's for silhouette competition and they make a great LR rig. ML

I jumped on the 7BR band wagon right away. Had to spend the $120 for the case forming die set to make them out of the 308UBR brass. You must have the patience of a saint. First thing I did when I got my 7 BR was break the piggy bank and buy 300 pieces of Remington nickle plated brass for it. Brian. Can you still get the nickle plated brass new? I have looked on midway and other places, but have only been able to find the remington standard brass. Thanks

When the 7mm BR came out, Rem also made the 6mmBR and .22BR in the 40X, and benchresters needed brass. They offered the small primer .308 basic brass, with annealed body, to allow you to easily neck it to the smaller calibers. I even made a box of .22-250's out of it, as folks claimed that accuracy improved with the small primer. Some guys also used it for .22 CHeetahs and .22-250 AI. Eventually, Rem offered loaded ammo and brass already formed for the BR's. The two cases on the left are BR brass, that I formed to .22-250. Note the small primer.

I'm pretty sure they have discontinued the nickle plated 7 BR brass. Heck, you are hard pressed to get your hands on standard 7 BR brass these days. I just happened to find a guy on GunBroker who was selling a bunch. Another friend bought 300 or 400 as well from the same guy. If you need 7 BR brass, I'd suggest you get it while you can. The demand is outstripping the supply at the moment. Brian.
