[QUOTE="distant1, post: 302448, member: 8506"] Hey Alfred Mate the pig in the Sack analagy is a ripper so true. This one started with the tried and true Rem 700 action , then a 28" fluted 416r MAB match grade barrel , A 2lb HS presision trigger and 3 rd box mag set , in a HS long range hunter stock , then a NF 5.5-22X56 NXS in NF rings on a NF 20 MOA base she ends up at 14.5lb and is a true pleasure to shoot prone at that weight. I loaded Nosler Custom Brass with 65.5grns of our Australian ADI-2213SC powder and a CCI-250 mag primer on the 168 SMK for 3070 FPS through the Cronograph. I ran the load through Exbal and set up a table which gave me 5.5moa for a 400 yard hold , I dialed it set up on a 3 inch bull and shot the centre clear out of it. The cold bore shot hit the centre as if put there by hand I was / am tickled with its performance. This is my first full custom and has ended up so well that I could only hope anything in the future is as good. Its not my intention to have a great many rifles though I do have a couple. I want to live with this one and get all I can from it , I know the 7mag is one heck of a reliable game taker I may be its biggest fan. Now that I have established this rifles shooting credientials I just want to match the delivery ability with a bullet that will do the business out to around 800 yards and then settle in and get to the business of filling up the freezer and the den wall. Would love to hear from any 7 mag fans with your ideas experience I know some of you guys have trodden this trail and I am well behind you but on track. Thanks [/QUOTE]
