I’m not sure how a rechamber to any of them is actually going to positively affect resale. In all honesty, if resale were a concern, I would think your best bet would be to rebarrel to seven PRC. My guess is resale is not much of a motivating factor for you, however.

That's my happy place, within the same vein!

There’s quite a few reasons they call it the 7x300 Practical ! Ha

My 1885 7 Rmag Stretched out to 7 STW wasn’t accurate enough to really make use of the extra velocity, If any. So off it went, now I see why.

7x300 might’ve been a great choice.

I think a lot of it is about the throating.

7STW. Brass can be found if it won't be a high-volume shooter. If you're going to be shooting it a lot and are worried about brass, go 7x300win.

7 PRC…unknown future, no brass, less powder capacity than what you currently have. Can’t rechamber current barrel. I realize you aren’t considering that one but it was mentioned.

7 RM…popular, widely available, needs to have the throat extended nothing more. BINGO! Just stock up on components and wear out the barrel.

7 Mashburn...the old 24HCF darling. Huge supply of 300 Win Mag brass and easy to resize from what I understand.

I never found my 7mm RMs wanting. I am in the process of converting an M70 Classic to 308 Norma Magnum. I don't need two 7mm RMs.

I have another M70 Classic being rebuilt as a 280 AI. Lighter weight for hunting Coues deer in AZ and antelope in NM.

Horses for courses.
