I've got a few M70 Coyotes. Nice rifles that shoot well. They are factory bedded with hot glue but that's an easy fix. $450 is cheap.


Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

What's it like to be at the mercy of your own faculties?


I bet, and this is just a hunch, that the OP might be able to scratch up a case or two of .300 WSM brass and neck it down. He might even get to use some of that false shoulder voodoo magic on account of the 7 WSM having a longer case head to shoulder length.


Was thinking the same thing............

To the OP - I've had both. I don't see any magic in either cartridge. They are same/same when handloaded. Had both at the same time and ran both for a few years. Sold the 7 RM because my WSM was more accurate plus it had a 24" barrel vs the 26" on the 7 RM. I see no need for 26" barrels on anything less than artillery.

You judge for yourself - I get 3200+ with 140's, 3000+ with 160's in 24" WSM. Got a bit more with the 26" 7RM but only due to 2" more barrel. It is simply a bullet launcher. Once you settle on the velocity your after for your intended bullet and game, its a matter of platform.

Great cartridge, the 7 WSM. I'd prefer to have one in a standard length action over the short action. My gripe with the WSM is the same as the RemMag: the neck is too short. Brass availability is or can be pretty sketchy. Case life is impressive for a magnum, and I've seen impressive accuracy from the M70's in this chambering. I'd swoop it up for 450!

Gentlemen,

I have necked down 300 WSM's to 7mm WSM leaving a false shoulder on the neck.

My point is that the 7mm WSM, while being an interesting cartridge, has some problems of supply.

Thank you

I have a Kimber in 7 WSM I'm thinking about selling. Select, not Montana. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. It would come with dies and a couple hundred unfired 7 WSM brass, WW.

There is no problem with supply as there's a ton of 300 WSM out there to make cases from.

I swear it's like you never made it out of the third grade as far as reading comprehension.

And if you REALLY wanted some -

Take what you need, flip the rest.


PLUS you can buy factory ammo to shoot and get brass

My Rem SA based 7 WSM is by far my favorite rifle. I don't think one is better than the other performance wise. Only differences that would make any difference, if you are a nit picker, is the SA and belted case arguments. Neither seem to make a hill of beans IMO.
