i'm pretty sure the Winchester FeatherWeight was made in 7mm RM with 22" bbl...


More impressively, the made the fwt in .264 with a 22" barrel as well.

They did and also offered it in .300 Winchester.


I briefly owned one in .300 and like a big dummy traded it off.


One of the reasons the .264 WM failed commercially. [/quote)

Wondered if someone would bring that up. IIRC that 22" 264 dropped the 264 performance level to that of a slow 270 Win. with a "helluva wollop" and great muzzle blast.HBB, nuff talking start doing, get with it. oh wouldn't buy that stuff info you got earlier about using a faster burnrate powder either. The slower burners will still serve you better in the 7 RM. My 2 cts and the right to have and express it. Magnum Man
