    Re: Took the 7 mag out to 400 today. Great results. thanks for the info. i know you cant really be on a budget in this sport... but what is a good brass without spending "loaded ammo" prices lol. i can get a decent deal on winchester 50rnd for 28? i think.

    Range Report Factory ammo "in the node"?

    Re: Factory ammo "in the node"? according to the dope being pretty damn accurate, i seem to be shooting right around 3250 fps with my 28" barrel instead of the 3100 advertised by winchester.

    Range Report Factory ammo "in the node"?

    Re: Factory ammo "in the node"? I'm using real world testing. Ok, i accomplished multiple things today! Well mirage at 400-500 was absolutely rediculous, no bullet holes and 2" black square looked like 6". Also wind kicked up to around 9-10 mph, would settle down to about 6 or so with a...

    Range Report Took the 7 mag out to 400 today. Great results.

    Re: Took the 7 mag out to 400 today. Great results. I am very OCD on my stuff being clean. If I can get a few reloads out of em then I'm happy. 300 rnds will last me a long time as I have little free time to get to the range.

    Range Report Factory ammo "in the node"?

    After tons of research about tuning for node on this great forum I have came to a question. At first I was shooting 139gr hornady sst at mAx load with h4831 which "should" have been atleast 31-3200 in my 28" tube. The zero I had it on had the sst hitting about 18" low at 400. Now the weird...

    Re: 7mm 168-180gr Berger vld questions.. Please read. After more reading i am going to be ordering the 162 a-max. Lots of praise on that bullet and should be easy to find a load for it.

    Re: 7mm 168-180gr Berger vld questions.. Please read. Ok looks like I'm going with the lrbt then. I want plenty of punch at long range. I only have 10 sst rounds left and have been using h4831. But I want to step up to the 180 and whatever powder is recommended? Retumbo, h1000, magpro? Seems...

    7mm 168-180gr Berger vld questions.. Please read.

    Hello. I built a savage 110 in 7mm mag months ago and have been having fun shooting golf balls at 300 yds with my 139gr sst reloads and shooting horse apples and pears and ~1.25" groups at 400 but now I am getting the long range itch. I built my rifle with 1-10 twist for shooting factory ammo...

    Range Report Took the 7 mag out to 400 today. Great results.

    Re: Took the 7 mag out to 400 today. Great results. It is a 1-10 tube. At first I wanted to shoot the lighter bullets for flatter trajectory until I really started learning lr shooting and now I am wanting to shoot 168gr vld from Berger. I was afraid it was too slow a twist but i called...

    Hand loads for 7mm rem mag. Any info appreciated

    Re: Hand loads for 7mm rem mag. Any info appreciated Cool beans. I did load 139 sst/h4831 testing with 65.3 66.3 67.3 68.3 with no signs of over pressure. Uniform primer no crazy marks an smooth easy bolt. All rounds were minute of orange at 350. So I will probably load up the 139s at 68...

    Hand loads for 7mm rem mag. Any info appreciated

    Re: Hand loads for 7mm rem mag. Any info appreciated Thanks for the info guys. Guy from Berger called me back just a bit ago and said 1-10 twist is what they recommend for the 7mag 168 vld. Said anything arouns 2900 and up will be great out past 600. So I figure that with my 28" barrel I can...

    Hand loads for 7mm rem mag. Any info appreciated

    Re: Hand loads for 7mm rem mag. Any info appreciated I can say this. The gun shot basically the same through all the rounds fired and the copper cleaned quickly and extremely quickly after the first 5-7 rounds. This is a slick ass barrel!
