Nice, i have a WOA 204 barrel in my first ar15 build it shoots great with factory Hornady ammo.

I am shooting a 7RM, we had only one person keeping score for 6 of us, so yeah it was abit slow, but was a lot of fun. The wind sounds a lot worse on the video than it was, it did change up abit after sighters though. I shot a few 8s which was disappointing after my 2 sighters hitting in 10 and...

Gunstock 2014 held at Marksmanship Training Center near lake city mi. Im shooting target # 2. These were my 2 sighters, which ended up being my best shots of the comp... 1000yardsGunstock2014sml - YouTube

Here is 1 pic for now before I added the sig sb15 pistol brace. Seekins precision 10.5" barrel Palmetto upper reciever Palmetto lower reciever RRA NM 2 stage trigger Sofar best loads under moa with 155 Palma smk minimal testing to 300 yards. Top pistol is 223 Bottom 300 Blk

My 300 Blackout build.

This is also a method of calibrating your scope, or rather finding out what your scope actually dials. It may dial more or less than actual moa, once you find out you can compensate for difference. Some ballistics app let you input a correction factor which will then automatically account for it...

For reference Sierra recommends at least 1 in 8 twist for their 180 smk, where as Berger recommends 1 in 9 for their 180 VLDs. My Criterian 7RM 1 in 9 twist barrel loves the 180 vld's, i havent tried 180 smks or berger hybrids. My personal best 3 shot group to date at 500 yards with 180 vld is...

Thank you Michael, I will definitely consider the powders you mentioned depending on which I can fnd when ready. 2635 is fine with me if it's more accurate then something faster.

42.8 rl15 But I actually changed from hornady to lc brass. I called 43 good with hornady cuz at 43.3 I had a few with light ejector marks. Knowing that lc was lower volume case I started lower and worked up to 42.8 and stopped sense I was at similar velocities. I may very well beable to go...

I'm only at 1140 alt or less. And was using litz on shooter app. Data looked good out to 690 as tested so far. I ran out of testing time due to deer season coming, I don't think I'm going to get them much faster than that comfortably in winter hunting conditions. I have a 30" barrel which should...

May I ask the velocity your getting with your rifle? I just finished a 308 build and my load so far is a 178 amax at 2635 fps in 35 degree temp. All though my primary long range hunting rifle is my 7RM with 180hvld I am interested in opinions on 178 amax for 308 at about 2635 fps. 738lbs energy...

I agree on criterian and mcgowen, My criterian 26" varmint contour is 7RM and has over 1100 rounds through it in less than a year , i am consistent to half or close to half moa at 500 yards with 180 bergers. My mcgowen is brand new and 308, but it looks like it will do the same in no wind after...

[url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=27597&stc=1&d=1384241863[/url I only have pic of my rifle so far. It's a 7RM shooting 180 HVLD's. The pic of buck at 500 yards plus will have to wait until opening day Novemer 15th 2013:D

Alright, thank you very much Lefty!

In the Hornady # 7 reloading manual under 7MM REM MAG for IMR 4831 they list their 162gr bullets going 200 fps faster than their 154gr bullets. Also a lot of the other powders listed the heavier bullet at 100 fps faster at max load. What am I missing?
