I have a model 70 7mmwsm. It appears a bit longer than a short action. I'd like to build it for the 180 bergers in a mag fed set up.. Ive been told by some it's no prob with the correct reemer and some say it's not gunna happen. If you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it
 
Re: 7wsm Questions

You just need the right reamer. Any old reamer will work unless you want to be able to load "on the lands".

Honestly, I don't think it makes a lick of difference because the throat wears pretty fast with that cartridge.

Do your intended purposes require magazine feeding?

Be sure to check into what it's going to be like to acquire brass for the 7SAUM before going that route.
