Weatherby mk5 7mm rem or 7mm weatherby?

[slamdmini]

I got my grandpa's old weatherby mk5 but I'm not sure if it's 7mm rem or 7mm wby. The barrel just say 7mm magnum. Any way of finding out?

Isn’t the 7mm Wby Mag a wider case? If it’s not a Wby Mag a Wby Mag cartridge shouldn’t fit.

Not wider but longer, by about .050".
The weatherby case should not fit in a rem mag chamber.
You could call Weatherby with the serial number. If really needed I could send you a case.
