7/300 wsm

[gyr]

I would appreciate some input on this round.

It might be splitting hairs but.. is there a real difference with a plain 7wsm? Or is it just the available brass ( Norma and others) for the 7/300 wsm and a slightly longer neck?

Thanks,

Re: 7/300 wsm

Another question, forming brass is as simple as using bushings in a FL resizing dies to go from .30 to .284?

Re: 7/300 wsm

Can't really answer your first question, it would have to be personel preference.

But it would be easier to buy .270 brass and neck up to 7mm.
Especially with a tapered expander ball.

Re: 7/300 wsm

I had a 7/300wsm. The benefit is as you already mentioned. Straight 7wsm has a touch more case capacity, 7/300 wsm gives you longer neck.

For brass prep used a special cut 7wsm neck die to do the initial neck down as I used 300 wsm brass. But then used Redding 300wsm Neck and FL Bushing dies with the proper sized bushings to finalize my cases. Only used the 7wsm as it came with the gun and didn't have to do multiple passes changing bushing sizes with my redding set.

Or like already mention use 270 wsm and neck up.

I got some Norma brass, but mainly used Winchester due to loosing them at matches. If you are not worried about loosing them, Norma was more consistent than the Win. brass.

Mine was built on a long acion Remmy 700. So didn't have to deal with seating depth issues. Ran 180 hybrids around 2930-2950 with H1000. The gun really liked the Hybrids.

These were just my experiences and others may find them different.

Many thanks to both for the answers. Also good to know the velocity of those 180´s.-
