7 MM STW Brass anytime soon?
Has anyone heard or have info if anyone is going to make a batch of the 7 MM STW brass? My supply is getting low and round count on what is left is going up. Had to trash a few more cases again the other day do neck splits and case head separation signs.

In pinch, you could get some 8mmRemmag brass & neck it down. FWIW, if you are getting head seps, your dies need to be adjusted so the case is headspacing off the shoulder not the belt.

Thanks, I have corrected loading procedures after realized I was hurting my brass, just shortened the life of the brass I had already loaded a few times. I can always do 8 MM brass in a pinch, just prefer proper head stamp. Have resized some 300 Weatherby brass that I pick up here or there for spares.

My 7STW wouldn't know what to think if I ever stuck a 7STW case in it. Only brass it has ever seen is 8mm necked down.


As usual just my $.02

Remington is only making seasonal runs. I'm sure it's sim. for any other manuf. Youy could always BUY factory ammo CRYBABY & use the brass.

Sinclairintl.com shows to have it in stock in Remington. Did not look under other brands.

Some of the brass companies have done some manufacturing lately. A lot of the places that were out of stock for the non-usual sizes like 375 H&H seem to have stuff in stock now.
