    7wsm is a PITA to get brass for.

    If starting from scratch a 7-300Wsm is much more sensible, built one on a Tikka a couple of weeks ago it goes very well
    chainsaw and Donald like this.
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    I would prob only use a couple of boxes a year Greg - I don't go to ranges
    I am more worried about recoil for the Apex - it should be OK and being a semi that can absorb some of the shock - but it can also rattle the optic too
    Ammo is not cheap I see - 70$ a box thereabouts

    Ive been looking at heaps of calibres lately for potential candidates for my two projects.
    Anything over 243 seems to start nudging the 50-70 mark and upto and over a hundy.

    Hi Greg,

    Is there much involved in making the brass? Is it just a case of necking down?
