I am always jealous of Lance and his stable of incredible glass and rifles. In fact I partially blame him for my recent splurges on a ZCO 527 MPCT1 and 2 TT315m’s in Gen3xr and Mildot. The ZCO 527 is excellent and heavy. My sweet spot with the optic is around 20x for 1000 yard engagements and I...
The 156 is about the only bullet I haven’t shot in my 6.5 saum so maybe it is different but h1000 is the powder you will need for the 130-140 class (including the 125 HH mono). The only time I strayed from the magical h1000 was when I worked up a 99 grain hammer hunter with h4350 at around 3500...
I adopted a 7-300 NMI several months ago. Have shot it a handful of times. Has 197 rounds down the Bartlein 24” carbon with n570 and the throat is pretty much gone. Will I do it again??? I am thinking about it just because it is fun to have a 1000 horsepower monster that toasts tires in the...
Pretty impressive from the 7 saum. This is with my “slow” 2690 fps load and a 175 Berger EH. Almost 1500 ft pounds at 600 yards if you are someone who subscribes to the energy minimum. 2890 is really impressive!
That is awesome if you almost got to 2900. My 20” was most accurate at 2700 with h4831sc and the 175 eh. Still plenty for everything I would shoot out to 500ish.
Had a little R to L wind today but got my Berger 140 EH load settled for my 6.5 SAUM at 3060. Was really happy with the 5 shot group from a Bipod and the low ES. Went to 600 and held the 0.5 MOA group which is about as good as I can shoot. I love SAUMs.
I’ll let you know in few couple months when LPR finishes mine using a vesper…..just a little excited. I may be wrong but I believe Unknown Munitions bottom metal is the only mag available that will allow the 3.150 length in a SA. Don’t buy a Hawkins bottom and expect to load at 3.150. I say go...
Pretty sure the BAT vesper medium can run a 7 prc without issues. But they aren’t cheap….stick the Unknown Munitions bottom metal and it can handle a coal of 3.4” which would be plenty for a 7 prc/wsm/saum etc. Obviously can’t run a true long action but they make a LA for that. I have this...
I also love the 7mm….whether it is an 08, SAUM, 280ai, rem mag or any other flavor. the specific stocks I would recommend looking at and possibly trying to shoot are
1) Manners EH1 (old but just works)
2) Manners LRH/PH (will have an Arca and a pic rail for using a tripod/bipod down the road...
