Where in Texas? That looks like the area around Abilene or somewhere in west Texas. Glad to see more long range hunters around here.

I just got this load info from Berger but haven't used it yet. There are two listing for each power, the first is the starting loads the last is the max load. Dale, Load data for the 168 grain VLD bullet in your 7mm RUM. Yes, we are working on a manual but it is a long slow process and it...

I tried a 160 Accubond in a Sendero SF II and it pushed it into the case about 1/8th inch and in a 700 XCR it didn't touch at all.

Jonathan, My check for the 7mm RUM brass is in the mail. Can't wait to try something other then Remington brass. Dale

Also received these from Alliant. 7mm Rem Ultra Mag Swift Bullet Data 150 gr Scirocco RL 22 start 78.1 grs @ 2969 fps max 84 grs @ 3196 fps RL 25 start 82.3 grs @ 2999 fps max 88.5 grs @ 3181 fps 140 gr A Frame RL 22 start 79 grs @ 3093 fps max 85 grs @ 3285 fps RL...

I have used up to 93.5 grains of RL-25 with 160 Accubonds, Remington cases and Fed GM215M primers, and didn't see any pressure signs but that is 2 grains higher then any documented loads I have found. I dropped to 92.5 just to be safe. I don't know what speed I'm getting but I have to use 38...

Thanks, no more coyote hunting for me after seeing that.

How does the .338 Swamp Donkey differ from a .338-8mm mag? The .338-8mm is just a 8mm mag case necked up to .338, nothing else done to it. I have had on since 1994. I am getting around 3179fps average with 210 partitions using 88 grains of IMR4831. This gives me around 3 loading before the...

I'll second the vote for 7mm RUM brass.

I guess just the markings on them. From what I have picked up reading this forum, target turrets are better due to changes in things like altitude and temperatures.

I don't have one of these but here is a link: http://www.kentonindustries.com/

I have a friend who bought one a couple of months ago. He really likes it and says it is pretty accurate, although he didn't mention group size. He ordered it while on duty in Iraq so he didn't have to pay the tax. Small benifit for getting shot at, huh? It is loud with the break it has on it...

POP, What barrel length are you getting? My 7mm RUM with 26" barrel won't do much over 3400fps using Retumbo and 140 Accubonds. I started with 94 grains and got an average of 3398, I worked up to 96.5 grains and was only getting 3438 . With 160 Accubonds and 93 grains Retumbo I get 3207, 94.5...

I found it while surfing for 7mm RUM loading info. This site has been a wealth of info. I've found answers to questions I didn't even know I wanted to ask just by lurking. Like I didn't know how bad I needed a Swarovski range finder, or a new 7mm Allen Mag, or a longer shooting range. Like alg...

I just bought a used Swarovski Laser Guide from SWFA on thier Sample List for 699.95. They are as good as everyone says. Here is the link, hope it works OK. http://www.samplelist.com/default.asp?di...hide_sold=false
