I am having a rifle built with a Carbon Six 22" Sendero barrel and a Mack Bros EVO II Rem 700 action in 7mm-08. Got a bunch of 140 Accubonds and a couple of lbs of Big Game. I think you just gave me a starting point. What is your COAL?7mm-08 shooting 140 gr Accubonds behind 47 grains of Big Game. Rifle is a blue printed M700, Proof Research barrel 20 inch Light Sendero 1:8, Timney trigger, AG Composites Privateer stock with a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8 scope.
Loaning my buddy my .257 for Co next month. 90gr absolute at 4180. His first deer hunt so I thought the idea of holding center mass out to 400 is the best way to send him.I'm going to be bringing my .257 weatherby vanguard stainless synthetic. Haven't hunted with this rig yet. Testing the 75 grain hammer hunter at 4150 feet per second. Have it all dialed in out to 500 yards. It's hold on hair flat to that distance.
I may also get a fall black bear tag. For that I'd probably grab the .300 win mag savage 111, got an accurate load for that with federal 180 grain trophy bonded tips at about 3000 fps.
Holy . With a 90 yet? What barrel length is that out of!?Loaning my buddy my .257 for Co next month. 90gr absolute at 4180. His first deer hunt so I thought the idea of holding center mass out to 400 is the best way to send him.
Right?? My 26" barrel #1 is pushing them 3611fps......Holy . With a 90 yet? What barrel length is that out of!?
my 24 inch vanguard runs 100 ballistic tips at 3720 with 7828 but it is a redline hot load. But that's the "node" it likes. Brass life isn't so long there, I have a a 100 grain Barnes tsx load doing right around 3500 that certainly sees better case life and is probably more "acceptable" regarding not exceeding SAAMI spec pressure (though I'm convinced some of weatherbys factory ammo exceeds it)Right??
