Bergara B-14 Phenomenal accuracy 300 Win Mag

[Iron Worker]

3rd time to the range with my Bergara B-14 HMR. This time I removed stock and sanded the recoil lug and action screw areas, and installed a Trigger Tech trigger.
3 loads 208gr ELDm 82grs of N570 195gr Sierra TMK 74grs of N560 and 168 gr Berger 78grs of Re#22. Zero pressure signs on any.

I have the HMR premiere in 300 wm, it's a tac driver. I use 190 grain Speer impact using 77.5 of h1000. 1/2 moa all day long. Bergara makes a good rifle.

Fantastic! You got a good one!

excellent! Area 419 break or APA? I imagine that really helps

Look'n good! For paper I like 69 grains + / - some 10 ths. of IMR 4350 and the old 190 grain SMK's.

Same Load I've been using for a Very Long, Long time! HMR-PRO 300 WM

Break sure looks like a Fat Bastard Gen 3. He has all the set screws out.
I just put one on a 7PRC, but only first two screws out for the moment.
Excellent accuracy from the Bergara.

APA , I don't know if it cuts recoil by half. It still has a wallop.

 

[Stadoc]

I have a EC tuner break and it mitigates recoil great

 

[Rosebud]

The 7 PRC isn't a really hard kicking rifle, but the APA Fat Bastard works great, feels like shooting a .243.
The purpose of the screw holes is to get it to recoil straight back to allow you to observe the bullet impact. Take out set screws until it does. But nothing will stop really hard kicking rifles, stock geometry, light weight rifle in magnum calibers, physics!

I've had the pleasure of shooting several different Bergara rifles, from their low end, up through some pretty expensive stuff. All have been at least decently accurate, some very accurate.

Bought a 7mm Rem Mag Wilderness Ridge for my son - their low end rifle. Loaded some 150 grain ELD-X bullets over IMR 8133. Got great velocity and accuracy!

A 5-port Brake and a Backfire Recoil pad makes it a comfortable wallop. Yesterday, I fired 41 rounds just fine.
