[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2311166, member: 95013"] Have been working with wildcats, or non-standard SAAMI rifles for quite a few years. Truly enjoy the process and discovering new and interesting ballistics profiles for hunting. I primarily build them to feed my theory. Big heavy bullet, going as fast and accurate as I can to ensure in hunting conditions, even marginal shots kill cleanly. For this project I wanted to make it simpler. Take known components that are easier to find, and currently offered reloading tools and processes, that make a fast 7mm for western hunting. I did a 7mm-300 PRC For this rifle I really only changed one aspect of what is already a pretty good case. All I did was neck it to 7mm. Thats it. No rocket science, no math, just a smaller bushing in the 300 PRC Redding die. In this configuration: [LIST] [*]BAT Action [*]24" PROOF bbl in 7.5 twist [*]AG Stock [*]Timney Elite Trigger [*]Kahles K624 scope [*]ADG Brass [*]175 gr ELDX bullet [*]RL 25 powder [/LIST] I am seeing 3172 fps at a 2/3rd up the ladder node which produces sub 1/2 MOA. Can go faster and started to see pressure signs at 3229 - but 3172 seems fast enough LOL Anyone else doing something along these lines? [/QUOTE]
