Excellent article, more evidence of what I’m finding may be the root of my dilemma.The cartridge more suited to the application is the 300wm, but not in this gun and I’m not about to drop $2,000 on a rifle just to rebarrel it prematurely. I saved pennies not dimes. Thanks for the input.

I like the availability of the 30 cal but for this rifle and the barrel twist, I’m starting to lean heavily towards 7mag. My grandfather shoots 7mm mag and swears by it as well.

Very true, and I’ve been all up and down the search feature cruising similar threads. As a new member though I am also trying to hit my 10 posts so that I can start opening other features of the community such as the classifieds.

Ahh excellent point, twist rate will limit the rifle to lighter bullets. Although shooting a lighter bullet with good BC from a 300 mag would certainly cover some ground and maintain lethality.

I’ve been mulling over email Huskemaw themselves asking about it. I’m by no means a master, but have some serious doubts bout that velocity.

Kind of my thoughts, the amount of powder needed to get a 168 cooking at those speeds are more than feel comfortable with. Just wanted some form of either confirmation or enlightenment on the matter.

Hello all, I’ve seen tons of info on loading the 7mm rem mag with Berger 168g VLD and H1000, but much question comes from the fact I have a friend asking me to load for his rifle which has a Huskemaw scope. This wouldn’t be an issue except the turret is etched with 3600fps. I have not been able...
