The 7mm STW hadn't even occurred to me. I'm only vaguely familiar with it and I don't think that I've ever seen a gun chambered in that cartridge, unless it was just sitting in a gun rack at a gun shop somewhere.
The reason for not including the 7mm Rem Mag and .300 Win Mag is because I just don't care for belted cases. I'm not saying that there's anything at all wrong with them, it's just a personal preference.
Thanks for all the input so far. By the way, the .338-06 was included because it's one of the guns that I happen to have. I built it on a Remington 700 action with a Sako extractor, completely blueprinted it and chambered it myself and then made a nice stock out of American walnut, my first stock and it actually turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. All of the metal is highly polished and rust blued with a jeweled bolt. The bad part though is that I've yet to use it on a hunt! Something that I intend to change in the near future, but at the moment I still live in Tennessee most of the year and it's a bit much for a whitetail deer; unless you want to field dress it at the same time.![]()
