I found H1000 great with the 162 amax. I think it was 78.7 grns, driving the amax at 3200 (obviously be careful and work up to this). Re 22 got me more velocity, but H1000 had better SD and is regarded as being less temperature sensitive so I settled on this. Also 3200 fps is plenty:). Great...

I quite like this cartridge, nice balance between velocity and powder and it should give pretty good barrel life also. Had one built out of a rem 700 with HS bottom metal to get it feeding real nice. Rifle shoots 162 amax at 3200 fps into 1/4 inch at 100 m. 180 berger at 3100. So plenty of...

I have had them work quite well on our Reds over here (~380 m going at 3030), also my mate has consistently had very impressive kills at 600 m with the 162 amax in his 7mm mag (going 2950). Anyway, i'm sure they will work fine, but I plan to go with the 140 berger in my upcoming 6.5-06 AI as...

This should tell you what you are after 7mm Cartridge Guide

Thanks CPGfan, good to hear the Lapua works without any trouble. I will definately check out the website you mentioned

Hi there, I am having a 6.5-06 AI built up and am thinking about brass to buy. I am a big fam of Lapua brass, and wondered if anyone has formed 6.5-06 AI cases from the Lapua 30-06 brass? I'm guessing I will need to turn the necks, but I was wondering if the case may end up too short - I think I...
