[QUOTE="submoa1000, post: 635599, member: 32785"] [I]I have really enjoyed reading the posts on this forum! [/I] I must say however as an owner of many long range rifles, I have been drawn back time after time to the ballistics and the performance of my 7 Remington Ultra Mag. I have had my action re-chambered to a [COLOR=red]7 Tejas Ultra Mag[/COLOR]. This squares the shoulder and allowes for around 5% more powder. However, I am back to what works best with the least amount of pressure. I believe anyone who does not shoot the [COLOR=red]180 Berger VLD [/COLOR] in this caliber is absolutely crazy. Of course, I have a custom 26" PacNor barrel, but it should not matter. I am loading it at 3.670 O.A.L. or 2.970 on the ogive to make sure it fits in the magazine. I have been lucky to not have to seat into the lands as my accuracy is 7/16 or better at 100 yds. and sub moa at 1000 yds!!!
