    6.5WSM or the 7/300WSM?

    Re: 6.5WSM or the 7/300WSM? might need to look into the 6.5 SAUM, what MV are you getting with the 130s or 140's.... I figure for mule deer I wanted to stay with 130-140grn bullets.... I killed last year with my 7rm 180vld at 350, beside knocking him on his dick, wasted alot of meat. 130-140...

    Necking up or Necking down

    How does this process work... I'm curious how they neck down the 300wsm to 7wsm....or 270wsm to a 6.5wsm are these custom dies or what? I'm assuming the dies are of the parent(300wsm) round than with a series of smaller neck bushings to get desired neck dimension...but not sure...how many...

    Bushings for dies?

    Re: Bushings for dies? Make sure you take the brass you plan to use..sounds like lapua....load a "dummy round" than measure the outside diameter....than subtract .002; .004; .006 and order these (3) bushings....that way you can try a couple different neck tension, and you don't pay a ton in...

    I'm starting this build and wondering a couplet things, and figured I'd ask the experts.. I wanted to do a 7WSM build and I'm leaning toward the longer neck of the 300wsm and necking to a 7mm for a little more neck control. So I'm only a couple years deep into reloading, but never have done any...

    Gunsmithing 7WSM and 300/7WSM same reamer?

    So I'm looking into the 300/7WSM and the true 7WSM....I realize the true 7wsm should be a little more angle on the shoulder than the 300wsm, but I'm not sure if they are the same reamer? Thanks for your help.

    1-8.5 twist too fast for 140-168's ?

    Re: 1-8.5 twist too fast for 140-168's ? "At 8.5 they should be stable. I have an 8.9 and an 8.7, and they stabilize the 180s just fine, even in very cold weather." does that mean the colder it is the faster those bulelts need to spin to stabilize? is it the opposite for warmer weather...
