I just picked up my Christmas present,a Kimber Montana in 7mmWSM. I would like to use the excellent Nosler brasswhich is available in 300WSM. Other than running it through a Redding full length die (or I suppose even a neck size die) and trimming the length are there any other considerations? Does Lapua sell WSM brass?orNorma? Thanks | ||

I'd go with Norma brass. That's all I use. I neck size new brass becasue no matter how weel made a case or what the price, necks get dinged. I use it for my 270, 270 WSM, and my 300 WSM before I decided to downsize my arsinal. warthog1134.com | |||

FWIW I had to go to a small base die on my 270 WSM because th FL die wasn't pushing the shoulders back to spec. If you can chamber a necksized WSM case after a few firings, great. Be aware you may have to go to a FL or even small base die. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the 270 won't do it the .338 will, if the 338 won't I can't afford the hunt! | |||

Converting 300 or 270 WSM brass is a conversion that I don't think I'd want to mess with. The 7 WSM's shoulder is moved further forward so that it won't chamber in 270 WSM's. You would have to Make a false shoulder and fireform the brass before you could use it with full power loads. I hate having to waste a good bullet fireforming brass when I can just buy the brass ready to load. From the 6th edition Hornady manual. Distances from the base of the case to the BASE of the neck: 270 WSM 1.824 7 WSM 1.857 300 WSM 1.802 ............................DJ ....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!.................. | |||
