    7mm 9.5 twist build for 180 bergers?

    You should be ok but if you're starting from scratch anyways, go with a little faster twist. I have an 8.7 and an 9.25 twist 7RM and they have no issues with 180 SMK or VLD's. A more scientific answer would be to refer to Miller's or Greenhill's stability equation and see what values you...

    Where to start with a custom rifle build?

    I think a 7RM is a decent choice for what you want to do. You already have a good scope. Start there. You can get a sendero or a trued 700 action and 7mm barrel relatively quickly and then upgrade from there. That should get you shooting quickly. If you're going to be hunting a lot be...

    I need a name for a rifle action company. Help me and win.

    Interesting thread. Something personal would make it mean more. Military phonetic alphabet for someone's initials or something. Or name it after a nearby river, creek, mountain, town, etc.. Some other ideas: Death Dealer Blitzkrieg Stormtrooper Skyhawk

    Accuracy vs Cost, Please Help

    Sendero with a muzzle brake or a Rem 5R. Adjust the trigger yourself. ~$1200-1400. Leupold or NF scope. Something that goes up to 20x or more and has target knobs. $1000-1800 $500-700 for a reloading setup and make your own ammo.

    Rem700: Which bolt know and why?

    I like surgeon for target, mini-badger for hunting. Same thread size so you can change them whenever.

    Gym Pet-Peeves

    Anyone who throws or drops weights on the deck making a loud crash. Pisses me off to no fucking end. They act like they are tough shit because they made a big ass noise. I think if you can't recover the weights and put them back on the rack normally you have no business picking them up to...

    Difficulty isolating muscle groups

    You could try working triceps first then go to dumbbells, that may force your pecs to work harder as your arms are more tired. If you have an injury though don't aggravate it by going too heavy. Try cable or dumbbell flys and going with a wide barbell grip on both incline and decline with...

    New rig 7mmRM or 7WSM

    7RM would be my choice, but if you like a shorter cartridge why over look the 7REM SAUM?

    Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

    After a long time of shooting a 7RM without one, after putting a muscle brake on I'm never going back. When you start getting past 60 grns of powder or so they are nice to have. I try to be as courteous as possible when shooting on a firing line but have also been blasted by neighbors. I...

    long-term attic storage of rifles, shotguns?

    I'm envisioning large PVC pipe with end caps and some desiccant bags, like the Mossberg JIC shotguns come with? Maybe vacuum/vapor bags? Just some thoughts.... Basement or crawlspace might be better than the attic, until it floods.

    How come 7mm rem mag isn't more popular

    Ok i admit defeat on the 230 grain newer offering. My catalog shows a 7mm 180gr VLD with a 0.659 G1 BC. 180 SMK's are also comparable. Now what about velocities? How fast are you guys pushing those 230's? Ditto on recoil, 7RM is a kitten compared to 300WM's I've shot.

    How come 7mm rem mag isn't more popular

    Some have mentioned the 30 cal's have higher BC bullets... what am I missing here? (specific comparisons please)

    How many of you use the Hornady Overall Length Gauge?

    The tap size is 5/16"-32 and is an oddball size that usually has to be ordered (try Enco.com and maybe double check the tap size). If you take a fired piece of brass the bullet should slip into the neck freely. The point of this is the hornady modified cases have more headspace (like factory...

    How many of you use the Hornady Overall Length Gauge?

    Being without one is like reloading in the dark. You can also make your own modified case from a fired piece of brass with the right drill and tap that will give you more accurate results for your chamber/headspace. I do prefer the sinclair comparator inserts over the hornady. If you...

    Most reloads in which "Brand X" Magnum Brass

    I like Remington brass for 7RM. I think its a little tougher and tends to last longer than softer brass brands out there. I get about 12-15 reloads without annealing, when the wall thickness above the belt gets too thin I retire them. Only a few issues with loose primer pockets but I don't...

    Need feedback on set up and loads for 7mm rem mag long range/hunting rifle

    I have two 7RM's and one is a sendero. Great rifle to start with and accurate out of the box if the trigger is adjusted properly. 180 Berger VLD for hunting and 175 or 180SMK for target shooting. Retumbo, H1000, H4831 or H4831SC are all good choices.

    How many people turn necks?

    I neck turn. More consistency the better, but it won't make up for all the other little flaws that may be present with the shooter/rifle/ammuntion. There might be other issues worth fighting first... depending on how far off your brass is if you can measure it accurately. As for donuts just...

    Anyone heard of Magnetospeed LLC chronographs?

    Wish I would have bought one before the other two I've purchased... but it didn't exist back then. You won't regret it. It had a little bit of trouble picking up my AR rounds but I just had to tweak the settings a little. My 7mag shoots about 1 MOA higher with it on.
