Hey Bowhunter42, thanks for the tip. I will try getting the 162 hornady sst's a little closer to the lands and see if it closes the group a little. I have them at around 12 thou at moment but there was one group (also with the H1000) where two shots went into exactly the same hole and the third...

No problems, any time. the Varget gets the 120gn Barnes TSX going at around 3100fps and they are absolutely devastating on hogs. North end shots generally exit from the south end and they look as they have been struck by lightning.

Hope you dont mind a few cents worth from another 7mm08 fan. Unfortunately I have no experience with the h380 but I have had three 7mm08's and the powders that have always worked best in mine have been the varget with 120 gn projectiles and the h414/4350 and 140 gn projectiles with compressed...

Hey Scoutm, all went well at the range yesterday. the rifle shot very well after it settled in with the running in process ( about thirty rounds) with the 150 Balistic tips and H4831sc with three shot groups from 1/2 to 3/4 inch opening up to 1 to 1 1/4 with five shot groups , so all in all a...

Thanks Scoutm, the rifle is new so I will definetly be running the barrel in before I load test. I have all day at the range so plenty of time to burn some powder. I have also loaded some 162gn hornady SST's with H1000 as well as the 150 balitic tips and H4831sc.

Hi all, I have recently purchased a new winchester model 70 EW in 7mm mag which I am taking to the range for the first time this week to run in and do some load testing and was wondering if any one has the same rifle and how they are doing with it.

To all, Thanks for all your positive feed back and making the new guy feel welcome, it has confirmed that I have made a good choice with the 7mag and the Nos Bal Tip. I am looking forward to getting into some load testing as soon as time allows (hope fully next week) just in time for my next...

Thanks for your reply 7stw, I have just purchased a Winchester Extreme in the 7mag so I am looking forward to trying out the loads. I dont think I want to go to all the trouble of trying too many combinations as I have with other rifles I own as these days I just want something that works. The...

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Nosler 150 ballistic tip with H4831 SC and the 7mm rem mag.(Rem cases and CCI mag primers)

I tend to agree with your gun shop guy. I would look for any excuse to purchase another project. I am also lucky with my wife who also shoots and hunts with me so there is generally not too many hassles when I NEED a new rifle (unless there are big bills to pay). I have just purchased a new...

Thanks for reply Woolecox, I have had pretty good results with the Speer projectiles but the Sierra's edge ahead with accuracy in my Tikka. The Berger projectiles have also grabbed my attention but are not always available here in Australia...at least in tha calibres I shoot so I find myself...

Hey lads, I am new to this forum so please bare with me. I have a great old Tikka m65 that I have rebarreled to 25-05 standard chambering in a 26inch No. 4 profile barrel and found that one of the best powders for this cal. especially with at least 26inch barrel is the Reloader 25. This powder...
