Hello Everyone
I use to have an account on this amazing forum but I have since lost my password and changed email addresses due to the wonderful amount of spam!
The reason I am here this time is trying to gather some information. I have a7mm rem mag that I am changing the barrel from the factory barrel 1:9.25 twist to a Remage Criterion 26" 1:8 varmit barrel (super excited about this). The gun originated as a hunting rifle and over the years has progressed into a long range target rifle (1000-1400 yrds). My goal was to go from the 162 ELDX to a 180 ELDM in hopes the heavier bullet and better BC would help in the longer ranges. I was reloading 162 ELDX with 7977 and had great results on the factory barrel, I am getting my stuff together for the new barrel and i cannot find alot of information on the 7977 with 180gr. I was hoping to use this power as i still have several pounds left over and with the shortage its getting hard to find powder locally. What are your thoughts? Does anyone have any data on the 7977 with 180gr? I have heard the 7977 is very compariable to H1000. Should I just stick with the 162 in a 1:8 twist?
