VLD (hunting) ?

[Joe King]

The classic Hunter was designed specifically just for rifles like yours, where the magazine, and or throat tends to limit COALgun)

I have 3 6x284's never tried the 115, what are you getting vel. and load data?

I use these 3 with good success, 115 Berger Hunting VDL 115 DTAC and 117 DTAC

So far Ram Mag is my best powder, but I'm still working with others...

56.5 gr gives me around 3250 fps and is very temp stable, have loaded it to well over 3400 fps but my rifle shoots a little better with the load reduced a bit.

I would say back off a couple of gr to start for safety

Its the best bullet I have ever used for long range shooting. I know many hunters that have seen the same results. If long range shooting is your goal, I would try the 168 Hunting VLD's, if your rifle's twist rate is compatible. I wouldn't necessarily write off the short magazine length on the 7mm Mag. I seat my VLD's well off the lands and get excellent accuracy and ES.

i agree, i shoot a custom interarms commercial mauser in 7mm rem mag and i have great accuracy with 168 gr hunting vlds. the magazine is too short to get close to the lands. and they actually shoot better for me jumping them.
