I have an M70 in 7mm Rem Mag that I've been thinking about converting.
Since you have that 7mm Rem mag barrel, it's should be very easy to convert to 7mm-375 Ruger. I wonder if the world can use another 7mm magnum. I'm on the same boat as you, I have a 270 Win rifle that I would like to convert to 338 Ruger, but I'm not about to convert it to 338 RCM. I would rather use the 325 WSM case to make a 338 fat and short wildcat than the 338 RCM. Reason for Olin not bringing the 338 WSM into a factory loads is it won't reach 338 Win mag performance. They too have the capability of more modern powders to increase velocity, but it will fall short when it is reloaded by mere mortals. Could've just lied to the shooting world and post the ballistics that will sell, but omit the fact that more modern powders were used. Hmmmm.... At least the manufacturers in our sport are honest enough to tell us the almost truth. josh
