in case you dont know its real easy to make it out of 8mag brass too. Just run it through your 7stw sizing die and youve got good cases.

You could also use 300wby brass, both may require neck reaming. Try here.

Anneal the necks on the 7 mm STW. The neck area will crack after just 3 reloads if you do not anneal.

The only problem I have had is the primer pockets opening up. This is with factory loads and not my reloads. The biggest culprit was Federal factory loads.
