So I've got a 26" 7 rem mag 1:8 twist rifle on the way-- should be here by next week.
I sold my 1:9.25 twist rifle as the darn thing would copper foul after 20 rounds and start throwing flyers (took 3 rounds to foul a clean barrel then 4-18 or 20 would shoot great then start throwing flyers)
I live at 6500' and hunt from 5500 to 11000 here in CO, but I've been to Alaska before so possibility of sea level hunting too, and i keep my hunting shots at 650y and less as that's where I'm comfortable for now.
What is your suggested bullet for hunting and why-- and if you have a pet load that works best for you , post it up please.
I'll be using norma brass, cci primers - std, magnum, or match-- probably go with H1000 powder but I'm up for suggestions.
I prefer heavier bullets, but again I'm up for suggestions
I like to train with what I shoot so I will be shooting paper out to 1000 with the same bullets.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
