    I still have brass and custom dies if you are considering this route. 50 cases fired 3-4 times and 60 new formed cases. Bro has a rifle chambered in 7mmFX for sale, it's left handed though
    The 7mmfx sounds good to me, but a very big case. Also a 28 nosler, I guess I'm on the boards of waiting for somthing to come up.

    Regards Grandpamac.
    Thanks grandpamac, will look into the 280ross!

    The 7mm-338 is a fun round I've been tempted to build another one, or in a totally different direction a .510 whisper (Subsonic 50 cal projectile in a cut down 338LM case).

    G'day,
    How popular is the 7mm Practical over there?
    I've read a bit on it.
