    7MM Hornady ELD-X 150 max FPS

    My first Sendero in 7mmRemMag was fed a diet of mostly RL22 (67.0gn) and BR2 primers. I think I even shot a few 9.5M primers and that was acceptable also but the BR2's gave sub 1/2" MOA. My current 7mmRM, a 700P, is currently getting fed 162gn ELD-M's ahead of 73.5gn of Retumbo & 9.5M's (3093fps...

    That was awesome! What twist is your barrel? 7 or 8?

    208ELDM/300winmag/Proof Prefit

    I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with your experiment. Both powders should do fine and I have had nothing but good experiences with the ELD-M's. I started with the 208's and ran them for a couple of years. From there I stepped up to the 212gn ELD-X and also tried the 215gn Berger at the...

    Reloading safety reminder

    Wow, I have never seen this type of accident before. I have read all the warnings about priming and how certain brands shouldn't be used with some manufacturers priming tools but this serves as a solid warning about primers and priming operations in general. I have always used a Lee Auto Prime...

    Your favorite FFP reticle for hunting…

    I run a Vortex Viper PST II, 5-25X50, w/EBR-4(MOA) on my .300WinMag, a Vortex Strike Eagle, 5-25X56, w/EBR-7C(MOA) on my 7mmRemMag, both having illuminated reticles. They're great (IMO) for my style of deer hunting, which is a shooting house overlooking long paths and timber cutdowns. There's...

    The BEST hearing protection for shooting.

    Definitely got some damage here since about 10yrs ago, from shooting a S&W 500 (8-3/8" barrel) with only foam earplugs in. I was amazed at how loud that thing was! Slight ringing always, now. I now also use double protection when doing load development or target practicing. Majority of time when...

    Uncertain times from a few years ago

    “I am still using some AA 3100 for rifle break in from early 90's.” Man, I was heart broken when they stopped making that powder. That stuff shot great in the 6.5-284 Norma I had.
