Man in 7mm you got quite a gap between 180 and 150g Scenar ,a 165 would do nice.

I get the 7mm 180gr Scenar and 50 BMG brass… I don’t get why Lapua have decided to produce 221 brass???? And dropped 300 Win Mag brass some time ago?
HELLO ooh!
Some 300 win mag brass would be nice again hint hint.

221FB kan be used for 300-Whisper, 17 mach4, 17fireball etc etc, so not just for 221FB.

That 7mm is too little too late, some folks are already moving from 7mm to .30 in F-Class. Just like a moderate capacity case like the WSM or 300Norma Mag. Missed that boat too. Guess they were too busy stamping Ls into the existing bullets to keep up

221FB is nice though, always kept me from using the case as RP brass was ugly and sporadic production runs.
