7-300 Norma Mag Improved. IT’S ALIVE!!

[Huntnful]

Maybe I will hunt with this setup . Not bad for a 9.7lb bigger magnum rifle.

The recoil does land me about 2 Mils away from the target after the shot though. I can still see the impacts pretty easily though since I was only on 15X. A little weight sure wouldn't hurt. But we definitely got options now lol. A hair over .1 mil low. Which puts me at a trued BC for the 180 ELDM at .38 G7

But you missed …that's good shooting. See 7mm is better.

I wasn't completely wrong about that barrel shooting bad

Huntnful- I'll PM my address so you can send me your 300 NMI. You don't want it getting lonely in the safe. I'll keep it running for you.

Great shooting my friend! Can't wait for hunting season to see your trophies.

Stay well and thanks for letting us tag along.

Hahahaha that's my backup backup setup . But I don't think I'll need it. This 7-300 is shaping up just fine. Probably kill an elk and a few deer with it this season

Curious how recoil will compare to the 300 when the rifle is equal weight.

Probably? You mean WILL

On a recoil calculator, it should be about 10% less. But it honestly doesn't feel like it. Feels the same, and a little sharper. Could just be my mind though. Im not shooting them side by side for a legit comparison.

But I don't feel like it was significantly less recoil, if any at all.

I'm trying to be more and more selective with bucks. So that means eating more tags. But I'll absolutely pile up some raghorns or cow if given the opportunity and tags lol

I got 51 brass fireformed today.
Packaged up the 7rbh and it's on the way for another new barrel

Are you doing prefits and spinning them on yourself?

No they aren't prefits. @Barehandlineman11 lives 1 hour away from me. I've been bringing him my action for every barrel. Get a perfect chamber and a perfectly time muzzle brake that way. And then the brake just stays with the barrel. I can't express how freaking awesome it is to have a legit gunsmith that close. And no bullshittng or run arounds with lead times and stuff. He knocks it out as soon as he can.

I have a barrel vise at home that I swap them with once he's done. And I make sure to use the same torque as he did as well.

I think for my next hot rod im getting a couple of barrels at once, great idea

If every load is tested with or according to 95% probability level, you/we would need them by the dozen. Or pallet.
