I
I`ve a Wby with 687 rnds down the Pac-Nor barrel, by count. Throat is shot. I may just replace with a long throat 7 RM. Simpler all the way round.
Sorry for the deviation of topic.
That is a really low round count, did you use it for prairie dogs? I think I am averaging 2-2,500+ rounds for the 7 RM. I think the Weatherby and Mashburn are a better case design due to longer necks. If I did a Weatherby I would do a long throat but no free bore or the very minimum that would allow factory rounds to be shot.
