[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 497220, member: 26477"] Chuck, You can cont me in on the get together. It would be great to put faces to names and share some great comadarie and BS. Perhaps a little shooting as well. I'm really new to this sport and know most could teach me more than a thing or two. The 7MM sounds like a good way to go. I have wished I would have had my rifle built in that caliber due to the huge expense of reloading my 300RUM. It has really been hard to find reloading components for it as well. I finally aquired 50 rounds of Nosler brass and 131 rounds of Remington that were good. Bullets and primers have been hit and miss. It shoots 200 gr. Accubonds tighter than anything else I've tried. I have started loading to SAAMI lengths as loading to the L&Gs were so long (3.873) that I decided to load for the best group I could get to feed through my magazine for hunting. My gun, unloaded, weighs in at 12lbs 8oz. which isn't too bad considering I've got a Nightforce NXS with Warne steel tacticle rings, Nightforce ADI, mount, and level.
