Alaska, I can give you the COAL of the 7mm Rem Mag in Fail Safe factory ammo. However, I do not own a 7mm WSM to measure.

Have they ever made the failsafe in the factory 7mm WSM?

I have the COAl for the 7RM I used it to get rough ideal for the WSM but I would like to see how close i got to the factory COAL.

Gotcha

 

[chet]

take your calipers to the store, any viable gun nut behind the counter will understand and be happy to let you molest a few
measure 3 or four out of two different boxes and get an average.
failsafe's are known to be a little inconsistent in the ogive department.

Chet,

The problem is that there is none of that ammunition on the shelf any more.

 

[chet]

CRAP!

I'll check around the stores here just to see if anybody has a box left over....

Wished I could help, but I have never laid eyes on the 7WSM with FS's. It is rare enough around my parts just to see 7WSM loads on a shelf... Scotty
