These odd ball cartridges are fun to play with when one has the time and money. In a practical sense they offer nothing but the fun of saying and thinking you have something that maybe Page or Hagel mentioned.

Just shoot a regular 7mm RM or if more is wanted the 7mm STW and RUM are right here for you.

I hear ya exbiologist, I have considered it. Got a couple of things to do first like add a pre-64 to my lineup. wink


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

exbio: If you are not sure you want one, you should not build it.Use the money to hunt instead; the 7 Rem Mag is just fine.

Personally I don't build rifles to engage in fantasies;I build them to shoot and hunt with. So I don't keep lots of excess "stuff" around.It either hunts and performs,or it hits the road after I play with it.

Owning this rifle is no more impractical, and far less expensive, than having safes full of rifles that never see the light of day and never travel anywhere to hunt.Lots of people have opinions about stuff they have never done....owning a wildcat is no different.

I built mine to hunt...I have had many other 7mm's...standard and magnum.This one does what I want.

If you are running into too many obstacles in your mind about it, then you don't really want it, and should not build it.It's that simple.

The more I read about it the more it seems like the perfect 7 mag.

I doubt it is perfect, smile but in a very imperfect world,it might approach providing about as much bullet weight,horsepower, and flat trajectory as is consistent with a reasonably light,mountain weight,general purpose BG rifle, that will not kick you into next week.

It is really very simple,and the reason I wanted one is that I wanted (1)a 175 gr 7mm bullet @3100 fps (2)from a light contoured 24" barrel (3)in a rifle weighing a bit less than 8 pounds (4)that had manageable recoil.

That it (easily)gives 3200+ fps with 160 gr bullets is kind of a bonus....but in truth I bet the 175 gr can do it all.I hope to find out.

Looks like Reloder wants one too... smile

The 7 Mashburn is only for the experienced and dedicated shooter and handloader. If you don't understand and appreciate what it offers and don't know how to make the cases and load for it then you should settle for less. Get ten or more years of experience and then you may understand. Few learn from those with a lot more experience.

I've already drank the Mashburn cool aid! One's going to grace my gun room in the next year...period. Just need to find a 7Mag barreled action. It's no harder to own than an ACKLEY IMPROVED cartridge. powdr

More or less....how an STW does in a 24" tube, I have no idea.In a 26" tube, an STW may be faster.

Overall ,there is overlap, yes.

I think I am in too, I just need to decide on an action then see if I can find one. I'm leaning M70 stainless (crf), but cost may push me back to a 700.

powdr is right...no big deal to form cases.

jr, a Rem 700 is about as easy as it gets...it will work great wink
