[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 962241, member: 2460"] Mud I do not have any 180 Bergers but have a few leftover 160 gr Barnes X bullets from the late 90's I loaded a bunch of them for my fathers 7mm Rem Mag for hunting deer on Kodiak and he ended up taking almost all Alaskan big game with that bullet... ..... (how many of you remember buying them for $20 in K-Mart ? ) Since you asked .... I made up a 7mm PRO (on left in pic) by necking up my 6.5 PRO............. and a 28 Nosler from a new 26 Nosler case for comparison..... ( COAL on both is 3.340" ) the case head is the same as 338 Lapua Magnum , I just miked the Norma brass & it came in a .584" I don't hate the 7mm's, have been around them all my life and the 7mm RM was the third cartridge I started loading in the late 80's due to it's popularity in my extended family, I just noticed that my 30'06 and especially the 300 Win Mag hit with more authority and as a kid that was ingrained hard and I can't seem to shake it off, other than that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 7mm cal., most impressive bc's and form factor on 'em Berger bullets [/QUOTE]
