Way off base

Hi Howard,

I may actually have a few rounds of 7mm Weatherby in my "extras" box... I will look when I get home...

Question, since you are test firing the chamber, wouldn't a Remington 7mm Mag be close enough to "fireform" to the chamber to provide the dimensions you need to check? I am Just curious... I have never reloaded these cartridges or had both types in my possession at the same time, but since the headspace is on the magnum rim, I think this might work if the case is close in length to the Weatherby...
