Hahahahaha! Me too!
But I want to see this 195 EOL thing through. Maybe Berger will send me a box or 2, and I'll be able to test some by rebarreling my other 7mm STW with a 8.5" twist barrel.

The most recent report that you can bank on. The 180 hunting 7mm bullet will not be made for awhile, a long while and the 195 is going to come into production as soon as the DNA of the Loch Ness Monster is completed by the CIA.

I've got a 1-8 twist 3B Bartlein just sitting and waiting. It will happen.

I wonder how many guys did this? No one could have seen what was to come.
Eric is golden but I bet if he could retract just one sentence in the last 5 years on here this one would be it!

Yeah, but like was said, nobody forsaw the commies trying to take our guns away...But I did forsee the hoarding that followed, after the incident, which allowed me to stock up on .22LR and other important stuff before the unwashed masses started seeing the big picture and started hoarding, too. LOL
However, but because nobody forsaw the incident, nobody forsaw the hoarding and shortages FROM people hoarding components.
So, for that unknown factor, is why I am still patiently awaiting the arrival of the 195 EOL. With BC's this high, it WILL be a gamechanger, and will compete against big .338's, but will be able to be pushed faster than a 300gr bullet out of a similar sized case.

It may be a competitor as a paper puncher but for hunting, it's energy will be a lot less than a big 338.

It has nothing to do with the hoarding or the time to produce this bullet. It is about the commitment to the 7mm caliber and there willingness to fix their machinery to make the 7mm bullet. They are valuing other calibers more so and concentrating on the other calibers instead of fixing their tooling and investing in this caliber. Give them a email, PM or call to find out the rest of the story!

I have... I've talked to Ryan several times about it since they first announced it. He told me it was because they were trying to keep up with the demand (from hoarding) for their already established calibers/bullet weights. NOT because they are valuing other calibers more important than the 7mm. It is simply to get caught-up with orders, then they're going to get back around to it.

I have faith it will come about...But I'm not rich or well-off either...So I haven't bought a barrel blank or built a rifle for it yet, either...I'm not a rich guy, so I would never build a rifle or purchase a barrel for a product the doesn't exist. Just saying....
