I’ll be working on final load this weekend. I’ll post when I have load all worked out.
I want to test RL 17 and some 215M primers this weekend.



 
Re: 7wsm back from paint

Yes it's a Surgeon with a Bartlien tube and Manners stock. George did the work.

If I can get 3050 I'll be more than happy. Anything over 2900 will be fine with me.

I'll report after testing this weekend

62.5grs with the 215Ms will send the 180s @ 3044 but its at the top.
The Rifle looks great RayDog

Re: 7wsm back from paint

I agree with everyone else. It's extremely sweet paint. Do you mind if I ask, was it really expensive?
 
Re: 7wsm back from paint

Could someone give me some feedback. Now forgive my ignorance of gunsmithing terminology but I always thought on surgeons the rear bolt assembly looked more like say a Mcmillan action in that they are cut at sharp angles and had a SR emblem engraved and not the same as a M700??

That 7Wizzer has been seriously GAP-ificated!

Re: 7wsm back from paint

Every time I see a thread like this, it makes me want to paint my new rifle, and I don't even have optics for it yet hehe.

Looks good man-
