[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2267076, member: 104437"] The 7mm Rem Mag is a good Cartridge,.. BUT,. usually needs, a 26" Barrel to get, 3,000 + FPS out of it. I liked my 7mm RM but, HATED the 26" Bbl as seemed to catch on, every Branch, in the woods when walking, the Game Trails. You might try, the 154 grain Horn. InterBonds, or, 150 gr. NBT'S with some, IMR 7828 or, BETTER YET, the 168 gain Berger HVLD'S if they "shoot" well in YOUR 9.5 twist Barrel. I shoot, a Tikka T-3, 24" bbl., in .270 WSM with,140 gr Classic Hunters going 3,185 FPS to keep the Recoil, reasonable / Fun to shoot and Practice with,.. in an, UN-Braked rifle. Good luck with your choice and let us know about, your "progress" ! The 7 mm RM, is a GOOD "choice" with, the "Right Bullet" over 150 grains and 24" Bbl length, Minimum, using 4350- 7828 "Burn Rate", Powders to, burn in 24" ! There are many 7 mm Elk Hunters using, the 168 HVLD's with,.. Awesome success ! [/QUOTE]
