rechamber or rebarrel

[camping1601]

Looking for some thoughts on this. I have a custom built 700 chambered in 7mm stw. Given the lack of availability of brass and factory ammo, I'm wondering if this rifle can be rechambered to a more popular cartridge like 28 Nosler? I'm also weighing the option of rebarreling to 7mm prc. Another thing to consider is I can't seem to make time to reload anymore, so the option of buying factory ammo is becoming increasingly attractive.

A third option I've considered is to cut my losses and sell it and buy something like a Tikka T3X Ace Game.

Curious what thoughts or Ideas others have?

If it’s a gun you like and it’s proven accurate, don’t change a thing! Those are hard to come by. Just learn to reload!

Look up the case dimensions of 7 STW and compare them to that of any alternative cartridge to get an idea for what rechamber could be done and how much a barrel might need to be set back. How long the shank of your barrel is will tell you how far that barrel could be set back.

If you don't want to mess with it (sounds like you don't), factory PRC ammo and rifles/chambers are great.

I'll add that I've reloaded off and on for 40 years it's just something I struggle to make time for anymore.
