Very nice Rick, and in a great cartridge. - dan
Nice rifle. I like the .350 RM alot, I have had several rifles chambered for it and taken alot of game, it is a pleasant cartridge to shoot and packs a punch for it's size. Just three weeks ago I used my M77 Mark II .350 on a beautiful blonde boar, the 250 Partition netted the usual devastating results.
Nice M7 Rick ! Great cartridge too except for finding brass now a days

Yup, you can make it from any of the standard length belted magnum cases. Now i just have to work out making 7 saum brass. - dan
Very cool! Picked up factory ammo recently another way to acquire brass. https://i.imgur.com/m7IyTkc.jpg / https://i.imgur.com/IrPs49M.jpg / https://i.imgur.com/FsKjVx1.jpg / https://i.imgur.com/edhw5PU.jpg

The Model 7 represents the ideal platform for the .350 magnum IMHO. Many years ago I had a M-700 chambered for the .350, but quickly found it answered none of the questions that was neatly answered by the rifle the .350 was originally designed for, the M-600/660. The M-700 wasn't a particularly handy rifle in the thick bush of south eastern Manitoba where I hung out in my formative years. I'd have been better served with a Savage 99 in .358 Winchester. I learned something about factory bedding, or lack there of, when the thin stock of the early M-700 cracked forward through the press checkering of the forend almost to the front swivel, and rearward through the pistol grip, something which even with factory bedding was unlikely to happen with a M-600 due to its's laminated, if slightly gaudy, stock. The superiority of the M-7 to its forerunners is quickly apparent. The light weight synthetic stock provides not only a significant weight reduction, it seems impervious to recoil, the hinged floorplate I prefer to a blind magazine, and the dog-leg bolt of the 600 series rifles isn't something I found particularly appealing, although I get the logic of it. The M-7 KS .350 magnum that I borrowed for an adventure in the Yukon proved the point to me at least.
That's a handsome and practical rifle Rembo. Whose stock did you choose?

Nice rifle there fer sure Rembo. The Wildcat stock is well proportioned & finished. T'would be fun fer me to do up an M7 in .35-284 along same lines
with a 20" barrel. Same power levels as the 350 RM, but on a .473" boltface.

I'd sooner do a Sambar and run one less bullet down... pick up 7 grains over the .350 RM rather than lose 7 grains with the .35-284. I have several .358's, .350 RM, .35 Sambar, and .358-375 Ruger... and to me picking up a little "oomph" over the RM makes it a more usable and relevant cartridge as opposed to dumbing it down to .358 Win ballistics. The .358-375 Ruger is more than you need, but it is quite a machine with 225 Accubonds at 400+ yards.

That's cool if ye be into goin' long with certain chamberings of yer choice. Fer me though, the .35-284 I worked with yrs back was plenty for hefty critters to around 100 yds. I've never taken meat critters past 110 yds but fer pest critters,the game is on. Backing off speed to get best results with 300 gr hardcast boolits @ 1600 fps got best accuracy fer me out of that push feed Cooey Model 71 build. A load like that plows through the shoulders of any critter we can offer up at out to 200 yds if one really needs to.
