[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1012614, member: 12995"] My weak, old, and feable 7RM is pushing 168 VLD's over 3,100 fps from a 26" barrel. I'd say that's not too shabby for cartridge introduced in 1962, that has proven to thrive over the decades thanks to modern bullet and powder technology. :D On that note, I picked up my Brownington custom from my smith today...Yes, it's an A-Bolt II, yes it has a Remington barrel on it. And yes, some slight load development and she'll be ready to put some meat in the freezer. Call me Dr. Frankengun, cause I just built a monster. BTW, factory 26" Remington sporter barrels are thicker all the way down than factory Browning barrels... Also, you can turn down and re-thread the tennon for Browning metric threads and not lose any barrel length in doing so. Just FYI incase someone needs a quick and cheap fix for their A-Bolt II. $100 ebay barrel, and a trip to the smitty and it's got 9 more lives left. [/QUOTE]
