Got a call from my gunsmith and he said that he should be finished with my 7WSM by the end of the week. I'm getting all my reloading stuff together and was wondering what size bushings to get. I was figuring on maybe a .311 and a .312". Has the 7WSM brass neck thickness been fairly consistent? I won't be neck turning.

Thanks,
David

.313 or .312 will give you about .001 of neck tension. I use the .313

Re: 7WSM bushing size

I picked up a .311 as well as a .308 bushing. The small bushing is just in case I need more tension due to the rounds getting beat up repeatedly in the magazine during recoil. Hopefully I don't need to use it.
