I used to have that same problem until I started using anti cant levels on my scopes. I laughed at them at first but after seeing how they improved my shooting at longer ranges I have them on all my rifles now. I have also found that since I have been using them my zero has held pretty much...

Thanks

Thanks. I have several loading manuals just not the berger and hated to purchase it since only bullet I use from them are 168 and 180. Just mainly looking for a starting point since I have never used 7828. Also when I did a search on here for it I seen several of your posts and saw where you...

If anyone has the berger manual could you please tell me what the min and max load they have listed for the 168vld and imr 7828 in 7mm Rem mag? Thanks

I have shot lots of the gamekings and prohunters but never tried the matchkings but always wondered how they would work on game. I made my longest kill shot ever a couple of months ago on a 200lb boar at 590 yards using a 171gr barnes matchburner. It did not exit which did not surprise me...

I too have been very pleased with the 168 vlds performance and admit that I have never ever seen internal damage like they do turns their insides to jello. First coup;e of yrs I used them my experience with them were very much like you describe on the big does. This past season though I had...

Yes it does. That is the next powder I am going to try. I have had really good velocity and accuracy from every 7 mag I ever owned with the 4350 and 140s but think the 7828 will do better with the heavier weights from what I have read. Gonna pick up a pound and try it and if it does good in my...

Thanks for the advice. 7828 is actually a powder that I have been looking at pretty hard. I tried to find some 162 amax awhile but was never able to find any. Did pick up a couple hundred of the 162 sst I gonna try if it ever cools back down enough around here.

32 bucks for 100.They are not the all copper like the triple shocks they are a jacketed match bullet. They are almost identical to a 168 vld. Lists BC at 0.645

Thanks for the info. I have been running them pretty mild at 2750 but was planning on working them up a little faster but now that I know that I will just leave like they are. Mainly just gonna use them shooting steel anyhow.

Thanks guys I appreciate it

Hello I am sure alot of you guys may already know this but for the ones who have not tried them that like a high BC bullet you should try out the Barnes 171 Matchburner. They shoot pretty much identical as the 168 berger vlds do out of my rifle and they are only 32 bucks a box. I only bought one...

Thanks I appreciate it. Always interested in different powders that I can use in case we have another big shortage like we did a few yrs ago. That was miserable and the main reason that I have been stocking up on 4350 a little at a time when I am able. Now time to start experimenting with some...

Thanks for the info. Thats what I was thinking maybe run them up to around 2900. Should be able to get that with the Imr 4350 pretty easy so thats what I am gonna try. I figured I was running them pretty slow.I have two 7 mags a rem 700 with 26" barrel and ruger m77 mkll with 24" barrel. Figure...

Hello, been reading this forum for quite awhile but except for a post in the intros this is my first post so hopefully its not to long. I have been reloading and hunting with the 7 mag for 25 yrs and my load that I used for most of those yrs was a 140 grain sierra gameking running at 3150. That...
