Need some gunsmithing expertise. I have a 7mm Weatherby barrel that has excessive headspace (closes on field gauge) on a barrel that cannot be "setback" (aftermarket Blaser R8 barrel). Can a 7mm Weatherby be re-chambered to 7mm STW (or any other cartridge for that matter)? Thanks, Björn

I’ve got a 8” twist 7Wby barrel being made…looking for SA Plains game bullet for this rifle to go with my 375 H&H. Intended game includes the spiral horns (eland, kudu, nyala and bushbuck) plus wildebeest (and others). Likely leave the eland to 375HH (270 SH). Contemplating the 169 HH or 170...
