Hi guys, Well finally have the my 7mm RM Sendero back with new Madco barrel and Jewell trigger. Took it to the range last week and ran it in as well as doing some load testing. I wasn't overly impressed - tried 180gn Bergers behind 61gn, 62gn and 63gn ADI 2213SC, but all the groups were...

gun) I have had mixed results on game with A-MAX projectiles on medium game (mainly feral goats). In some cases I have had solid chest shots with my 7mm rem mag and the bullets just penciled through the animal and simply ran off. Others shots have taken the animal down, but needed 1-2 more...

gun) I know the 7RM is a big boomer, but I wouldn't think you'd literally burn a barrel during a normal 20 match. I have been watching a guy at our range blast away with a 300 win mag with great results and he has had it for some time. Of course his barrel (and that of my 7mm RM) will...

:) anyone else have experiences to share with the 7mm RM in competitive shooting?

Thanks guys - I have heard that the short fat cases tend to burn more uniformly however I do love the grunt of the magnums. Out on the firing line a few months ago, one of the guys on the range was using a 300 win mag and was putting all the rounds in a thumbnail hole in the X ring - it was...

gun) Thanks Dennis and Stu76x. I will keep you in the loop once I have the gun re-finished. Should be done by end of Feb. Dennis, you'd have some nice hunting options in South Alabama, lots of different species of deer?

:) Thanks KYPatriot - my current rig shoots pretty well (about .4MOA) at 100m, however I am going with a new 28inch stainless barrel & jewell trigger so hopefully it goes well. Thinking of actually using 180gn VLD Berger and ADI 2213SC powder?

:) Thanks guys - I have used my old Sendero for many years for hunting and it has dispatched pretty much evrything here (other than NT Buffalo). The 6mm's are very popular here too, but I just can't understand why the 7mm Rem Mag hasn't caught on. Any other long range/ F-Class experiences...

:) Greetings from OZ. I am new to the forum, but have been following LRH magazine for a while, so I thought I'd actually join. I am a long range F-Class shooter and normally use a 308win for our F-Class Standard matches here in Australia. I have been shooting competitively for only 12 months...
