I tried the 180 grain Berger hunting VLDs in my 7mm Rem Mag this year and will be switching back to my 160 gr Acubonds next year.

I shot my first coyote this year in Montana. I hit him with my 7mm mag with 180 Bergers at 130 yards. He was running straight away and I hit him in the left hindquarter. Lets just say it did the job!

I don't own a chrony so I have no idea. I guess it's time for me to buy one.

I had Shawn at Defensive Edge do the triggers on 4 of my M77 rugers ad they break at around 3 pounds. You might just have a local smith work yours over.

I worked up a load for my Ruger M77 shooting 180 grain Bergers, H1000 powder, Rem brass, and CCI 250 primers. I started at 63.5 grains of powder and went up to 68.0 grains. The best group it shot was 1/2" at 100 yards. The bullets are seated .050 off the lands. I had to seat them that deep to...

I am pretty happy with the results. The best group I got was 1/2" at 100 yards with 66.5 grains of H1000 and the bullet seated .050 off the lands. I had to seat them that deep so they would fit in the magazine.

I finally loaded some rounds. I am trying the Berger 180 grain bullets with H1000 powder. I have 3 rounds each starting at 63.5 grains and going up to 68.0 grains. I hope I find a good load tomorrow when I go shoot it. I will report back with results.

Nope, that's next!

I have a couple studs in black that I could mail you. I have one with machine threads and a bolt and one with wood threads.

Rem700, It is a Boyd's stock. I bought the pillars from Midway. I cut them down a little before I installed them and then cut them flush when I was done with my counterbore bit. I bedded about 1 inch of the barrell in front of the action.

I hope to load some rounds and shoot it in a couple weeks.

Here are some pics of the finished job. Sorry, I was kinda busy so i didn't take any pics of the process. I think I am going to do one last thing just for cosmetic reasons and that is to bed the rest of the action just so there is no gap between the action and the stock.

So I got brave and decided to pillar bed the stock on my ruger M77 MKII 7mm. I did it in stages (rear pillar, then the front pillar/recoil lug, then the trigger guard. It turned out great so now I am going to do my .270 and then my .243.

Spokane Valley here. The Mica Range is not far from me. From I-90 take the Pines road exit and follow the road South. At 16th Ave, the Pines turns into HWY 27. Follow HWY 27 south until you get to the town of Mica and take a left on Belmont Road. Then, follow Belmont heading East. The...

Not within one year but hopefully the year after. Need to pay off the wife's new Explorer first then I am planning on buying a Ford F150 with the Ecoboost.
