Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats 7mm Remington or Mashburn

I have a Remington long action just sitting around and am trying to decide between a long throated 7mm Remington or to go with the mashburn to be different. I don't need either of them I just have a sickness I guess . I've been the STW route and just want to try something different. How long is the wait typically for mashburn dies from Rcbs and is the wait and reamer cost worth it over a long throated 7mm Remington

Sell that entry level push feed action and shop for one with CRF, and a 3 position M70 type safety that controls the firing pin.

Buy a complete rifle. It's faster, easier and costs less.

Dumb don is an excellent contra indicator.

Here is one.

Like my Remington actions and plan to stick with it

What part of "I've been the STW route and just want to try something different" did you not understand?

Non responsive.No wonder threads get derailed on here....geezus.

Then you need more experience to appreciate finer actions.

What matters is the rifle and not the specific cartridge and similar ones.

It's the quality of the rifle and rifleman that matter. Of course an unpopular cartridge is not a good investment, nor is a wildcat like that old Mashburn.

I saw a really nice FN Mauser by Browning at a gunshop. It's a 7mm RM at about $1000. Nice stock, nice action, good cartridge.

7mm Weatherby .

Anyways.......

Donny's nurse must have [bleep] with his pill box.

Thought about the weatherby just brass is a bitch

I agree.

Just run 7mm Rem Mag brass through the 7 Weatherby sizer and fireform.

Well hell I bet that works just fine

I haven't done it personally with a 7 Weatherby, but read an older post here regarding the issue; it worked fine for those involved.

I have used 7 Rem Mag brass to build 257 Weatherby brass. A quick pass through the sizer was all that was needed. Turned out great.

Recommended that you use new brass.

Only drawback is the neck ends up a little short.

I'd go 7Wby too, unless factory ammo is a consideration. If it was, then 7RM.

That just means Laker will never have to worry about trimming

I changed my mind. Go 7x61 Sharpe & Hart. The coolest & best 7 Mag.

Jesus H. Christ. I like Model 70 Winchesters, but you make me want to sell all mine and buy 700s.

Getting back on topic, I sure liked my 7mm Mashburn while I had it, a lot. Simple proccess to make the cases by running a 300WinMag case through the fullength resizer and VOILA! Done. Significant upgrade over a 7mm RemMag but not as excessively loud and inefficient as the 7mm Rum. Nice looking cartridge, too. Not that such matter in the hunting fields but I do kind dig rifle cartridges that have that 'hot rod' look to them and the Mashburn does. Plus, it will be different from anyone in your elk camp or other hunting group. Good conversation starter, which I like in a rifle.
