7mm rem mag

Hello all, I’m new to LRH and looking for some advice on a rifle I’m loading for. Components: Ruger 77 action Brux stainless 26” 1-8 New Norma brass Fed GM215M 175gr ABLR IMR7828SSC I’m seating bullets to fit mag box, that gives a 0.120 jump. I’m increasing charges 0.3 grain at a time...

This past deer season I took a coues with a 168gr Berger with my 7mm Rem Mag, my first kill with a Berger and total destruction of vitals, dead on the spot. I've taken several deer with the 139gr SST with my 7mm-08 with the same results, quick kill with vitals turned to smush. Some deer with...

Good morning A couple of months ago or so I had some loyalty points at Sportsmans Warehouse I had to use or loose them, and I used them on some factory ammo, 7mm Rem Mag Federal Premium with the 168gr Berger Hybrid Hunter. I needed some powder but they didn't have what I needed so I got a few...

Pennies were saved and I’m looking to get the new SAKO S20. Current rifle system is a <$1000 .270win and looking to upgrade into something better suited to elk and moose. The S20 comes in a few caliber but the two I’m interested in are 300win mag and 7mm rem mag. I have shot one 7mm mag before...

Hi all, I have a couple boxes of these bullets, they're the old 160gr. HPBT, not and impressive BC but my max hunting distance is 600 yds so that wont matter much. Sierra says they are a tough bullet and that they hold together pretty well, that they dont blow up on impact and penetrate well...

I bought a browning xbolt 7mm RM about a year ago. I have never really been able to get it to shoot consistently. I’ve tried lots of different factory loads and none have grouped well. Hornady, federal, nosler. I started working up a load for the gun and in the last month have found a couple...

Hello all, I have a Winchester model 70 laredo that I am looking for a good load recipe for. My buddy works them up, so I have to know what to get for him. The barrel is 26”, however the previous owner left some pitted rust in the barrel near the muzzle so I’m having a gunsmith shorten the...

I started off my hunting career with a 7mm Remington Magnum. It never failed me but eventually I was bitten by the "bigger and better" bug. I switched to a 300 win mag which I believed would serve me well with a little more knock down power, if I ever made it to Alaska to hunt big bears. I...

Guys, this will be practically ancient question, but... :-) My smith gave me few boxes of the old Barnes X 175gr flat base bullets (no bands on it). I like to try it with the Norma MRP-2. I already have sorted the bullets for base-to-ogive length - surprisingly accurate. The next step, I've...

I just purchased a sweet little custom setup and need some help figuring out what 7mm/.284 cartridge I want to chamber my rifle in and what bottom metal to do. Specs: Action: BigHorn SR3 Long Action Magnum BF. Wyatts cut Stock: Manners EH1 inlet for Bartlein 3B contour, Hawkins BDL cutout...

Just curious if anyone has shot a 6.5 prc and how the recoil is Vs a 6.5 creedmoor? I have a 7mm rem mag with a muzzle break 26” barerel shooting 162 grain eld-x using a Zeiss conquest 4-12 scope and I just can’t quite get the groups tight I don’t know what it is? I’m just thinking human error...

I bought a Browning 7mm Rem long range last fall with 1:9.5 twist barrel. I now see browning is now making them with 1:8 twist. I haven't shot mine yet as I haven't decided what scope to put on it, and busy fishing. Was wondering if it would pay to trade it for one with the 1:8 twist?

Currently have a vanguard getting rebarrelled with an 8twist proof. Going to change bottom metal to open the mag up to 3.7” Just waiting on 180eldms and brass to come in so I can make up a dummy round and get it to my smith. I’m thinking of using h1000. Anyone have any experience with the...
