7MM RUM??

[Lefty7mmstw]

Getting 2900 fps from a milder charge of H50 BMG here with a 175 eld-x in a 8" twist 7rum. I could push it a bit but it's a short throat rifle, so book loads are off the table anyway. It's plenty accurate where it is too so I hate to push it. The 8" twist Brux was good at shredding jackets on heavy match pills when I pushed a bit during ld.

Shot the barrel out of one and then re-barreled it and sold it. The king of 7MM's IMHO.

Powders I used.
H5010
H50BMG
T5010
T5020 ( best )

190 Matrix bullets

LRT works pretty good with the 7RUM and 160 nosler BTs

Those terminal effects are far above normal I'd guarantee.
They are impressive at 3000fps.

What velo do you run normally?

Any other advice on cleaning schedules?

Well, I don't normally shoot the 7RUM. I ran across a deal on the rifle, worked up a load , confirmed it out to 500, and it hasn't come outa the safe since. LRT is pushing them 3450ish.
In a sported weight rifle, it's a handful.

Some of the milsurp powders are also slow burning, such as WC 872. This is what I ran in my 277 Allen Mag (338 Lapua parent case) shooting the 195 gr. Matrix VLD.

Wc872 works great for the 416 Barrett too
