I used Ray Bowman in NC to fit the Brux. He had to make some adjustments on the action, lengthened the stroke by milling the bolt slot longer, the slot that the trigger bolt stop runs in. He did that so the 7RM could be loaded to mag length with longer ogive bullets. And he throated the chamber accordingly.
Yeah, the .257 Wby is a death ray, but I got tired of messing with it. Seems every time I had it shooting half inch, it would change its mind and do something else. And it wasn't the stock. It was glassed and free floated with enough room so the barrel could not touch.
Let say I like the Brux 7RM much better. I asked Ray what round he suggested and he said 7RM with his chambering for VLD's. The 8 twist loves 175 and 180 gr. bullets. I've not shot it that much, never killed anything since the 7RM barrel. It would be great for LR, bigger deer, elk, etc. For local WT's and hogs, I have too many new projects ongoing. This fine rifle sits in the safe, waiting its turn...
