    Best Cartridge for the Berger 7mm 195 Hybrid?

    Re: Best Cartridge for the Berger 7mm 195 Hybrid? In the old reliable 7mmRM, H1000 & Retumbo work well for the 180gr Berger Hybrids. I would guess that the 195gr Bergers would work well with Retumbo.

    7mm Rem. Mag load with Hodgdon extreme powder?

    Re: 7mm Rem. Mag load with Hodgdon extreme powder? 7mmRM, 180 Berger Hybrids, 70.0gr Retumbo, 3.500" OAL (0.005" off lands), Fed210M primers, Norma brass, at 2925fps. (This is very much outside published book specs, in a few ways) Good groups, low ES/SD on velocity. 160-162gr bullets seem...

    300 WSM with Berger 230 OTM Tactical

    Re: 300 WSM with Berger 230 OTM Tactical With my 300 WSM, I tried RL-17, RL-22, H4350, H4831sc, H1000 pushing the 210 Berger VLD and 230 Berger Hybrids. RL-17 gave very good velocities, but was temperature sensitive RL-22 worked decently, but was also temperature sensitive H4350 worked...

    7mm RM reloading help

    Re: 7mm RM reloading help I'm partial to Hodgdons powder in my 7mm RM. Have heard good things about VV and RL powders, but they're too temperature sensitive for my uses. For 162 A-Max and 168 Berger, I've had good results with H4831sc, H1000, and H4350. A retired guide I hunt and shoot with...

    7mm Rem Mag

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag Norma brass, Retumbo, Berger 180 Hybrid (4000 ft above sea level) H4831sc and H1000 are good also. My particular rifle just gets smaller ES/SD with the Retumbo. With the new Berger 195gr 7mm bullets coming out (soon?), it should get easier to reach out to 1 mile with the 7mm...

    what kind of reach does a 300 ultra mag have

    Re: what kind of reach does a 300 ultra mag have With a decent muzzle brake, the 300 RUM isn't at all unpleasant to shoot. Even in a mountain hunting weight rifle (7-8 lbs), launching 230 Berger Hybrids. All of that 90+ grains of burnt powder venting out the brake has a great deal of "whoah"...

    Re: You know Your Addicted to Reloading When.... All your friends ask you to do load development for them. You notice your friends start using the same reloading components as you. (Berger bullets and Norma brass) Your friends call you from the sporting goods store, asking you what they...

    Re: Model 70 into tac driver I've a Winchester 70 Classic (CRF) in 7mm Mag that was a gift from a retired professional guide. A Leupold 3.5-10x40 sits on top of that rifle. The scope was a gift from my Dad, a retired 11B (and B4 ASI, along with the rest of the 11B fun schools that go with a...

    What's the best way to deliver 180 gr Berger's?

    Re: What's the best way to deliver 180 gr Berger's? USPS bulk flat rate, fill the box with 7mm 180 Hybrids 7mm WSM is efficient on powder, very accurate 7mm Mag is common, reliable, and a good all-around round 7mm RUM is very quick, very flat, and very hard on barrels
