    7mm Allen Magnum

    I had Kirby build me one a couple years ago. Phenomenal performance. It’s shooting the Berger 195’s at 3350fps. It’s really nice to shoot, his break does a great job minimizing recoil. I’m loading 101gr of RL33. I have tested it out to 1700 yards. I’ve taken 1 moose up here in Canada, although...

    Bonnet Plume Outfitters - 2022 Dall Sheep

    Reminiscing about my dall sheep/caribou hunt up at Bonnet Plume in the Yukon. Was an amazing experience. Just thought I’d share the link to the video. Had a friend compile my pictures and videos and make it into a short clip for a memory keepsake.

    338 builds (lapua/edge/or the like) lets see them.

    @Mike D Texas Bat Vesper action. I mean I could recalibrate my scale and weight it again and get back to you? I didn’t intend it to be a certain weight, a bit heavier would have likely been better as far as recoil goes, but I’ll see when I get out and send some down range.

    Yes, essentially a terminator but I do believe the shoulder angle is slightly different. It has the manners LRH stock, UM’s long dbm and mag, UM’s hunter rail and a 24” benchmark 8T barrel. With the scope, it is 9.9lbs. I haven’t got a chance to shoot it yet! Just got it in a couple days ago...

    Been away for to long, time to catch up

    I’m using Kirby’s load, have found no need to veer away from it. 101gr of RL33 Fed 215M 3.790 COAL 3380fps verified Very nice to shoot and great terminal ballistics as well. Have taken a few deer and a bull moose so far up here in Canada. Total weight of rifle and Leupold M5 7-35 at 10.3lbs

    7 SAUM load data

    I haven’t tried the heavies yet. Shooting the 168gr VLDH out of a 20” proof at 2911fps with 65.5gr of H1000. Would like to see what the 180’s will do but having trouble finding them.....

    7SAUM Bullet Selection

    All, I have been doing some research recently as to what bullet to go with in a 7SAUM. This is a factory build so no extended box, is a short action, etc so I wouldn’t have the luxury of seating the heavies out far. Have a 20” proof barrel. Will be predominantly used for a mountain rifle...

    Best pack for mountain hunting

    Exactly what Iceking said. Depends on your hunt duration. I am also running a Barney’s pack for my longer hunts. Very comfortable and can help distribute weight for long duration trips.

    Ultimate new hunting rifle build
