thanks - yes no issues so far. I wonder if they have a spec so the rounds will not jam in all makes of rifles - thanks currently running around 2.495.

Hi all- kinda wondering, the 7mm mag case trim length, max length is at 2.5" - checked afew fired rounds here and they are all exactly at 2.5 after being fired (tikka t3x).. I was trimming back to 2.490-2.495 (almost 200 rounds now with no adverse issues) - but wondering if i could just stick...

My question is the gn loads - member above is telling me 56 is setting up for failure and im trying to understand the variation from books to what is being posted.. so far all the data shows loads around 52-58 for N160.. i dont have the means to measure this stuff but we are planning to go and...

Yes figured it out tx

That's for 120gr. I'm loading 150.. ?

I'm just curious so plz best with me.. both hornady and vi post same numbers.. N160 listed up to 139, from 150 up n165 takes over but I think N160 can still work for 150gr.. Same numbers 150gr eldx: 139 data shows N160 As someone new always being told follow published data why the...

The info posted here for the same bullet reflects similar values that Vit165 on their site, the n160 is on average a few grains less.. This guy got gr8 results 62gr 150 barnes on N160.. uim thinking of doing some 56gr loads and comparing with the 58 i made last week-...

Hi - back at the reloading bench today.. wanted to revisit starting load info (i emailed VV for load data and waiting to hear back), but the n160 loads seem to start in the low 50s for both 150 gr bullets listed below with a max load of 59 and 60, just a pimch above my 58- Should I not start...

understood loud and clear thanks.

already reloaded/fired first batch, taking it very slowly and cautiously-

Consider this thread closed, thanks all-

nope i was wondering if it was possible. clearly not then - i thought the 08 bolt might just take up the head space but the necking is prob different too hence the comment from belldar- was hoping with a bolt switch we could have a 2 in 1 rifle :)

Consider this thread closed, thanks all- Wife and I have tikka rifles in 7mm Mag.. shot my first handloaded ammo this week and it seemed to work real nice- If i order a 7mm 08 bolt for our rifles can i shoot those with the matching bolts for smaller game? The mags are overkill imo.. Thanks...

Hi everyone- received CVA wolf and optima V2's last week. I have some barnes but theres a killer deal on 500 all copper bullets for $69 - are these an ok option with .430 sabots? Found a great deal online for 500 of these... thats why im asking plus CA requires full copper.. 200gr Round...

Thanks, yes I understand its not a straight answer, but was wondering if a slower heavier bullet might do less damage than a faster lighter bullet, tip design excluded.. my friend has had good luck with 150 on his 7mm RM, im on the low side of the ladder so learning as I go- this is just a side...
