this one will be a 7WSM as I own a reamer for it and have a rifle so chambered. hoping to head space the same so i can get by with my current sizing set up. seating depth will most likely not be the same but is easier to set at the die. still up in the air on the barrel. might end up with another another krieger as ive had great luck with them.

Hate you, mean it.

That was going to be my future build. I guess I will have to live vicariously through you until I save my pennies up.

Pics are mandatory now.

You would love a 7mm.....same bullet weights as the .308" but much better BCs.
