7mm stw
« on: July 30, 2004, 05:00:07 PM »
I have a 7mmstw barrel for my tcr mag  rifle went out and shot it for the first time today..Well shot it four times each time the primer was pressed flat and a hole blown through and open into the firing pin hole ..Had to bang on the gun to get it open..Now if it was a hand load I would say too hot. but it was a factory round..

Is this common with stw like rounds?

Also this barrel was a rechamberd 7mm mag but there is not no markings on it who did the rechamber job Could this problem be a fault in the workmanship????
I have yet been able to shoot a 3 shot sub 1" group at 100 yards ...........on any deer!!!!!!

I'd have a casting made of the chamber and then compare the measurements to what the 7MM STW is supposed to be...
