Guys,
I'm gearing up for my 7mm Creedmoor project. Dies are in the mail from SAC. Reamer is one week out from PTG. My barrel blank is in the gun room for my DTA.
My intention is to give a non biased opinion of this wild cat, and to find something better for the tactical competition game (mostly 10-1000 yards with the majority inside of 600). I will do load development for the project, document, and if the project doesn't work like some guys are claiming (2900 FPS with the 162 A-max), I will reream to 7 SAUM.
Now to bullets......
Seems like most people think the 162 Amax is the go to bullet for this range of velocity. Would this be the way to go? What are Litz's numbers? G1 of .6 is what I hear. What about the 162 BTHP? 168 Berger VLD? Any others that are readily available worth looking into?
I have not spent a lot of time in 7mm, so any opinions are very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Ty
