[QUOTE="scotsgun, post: 828032, member: 13278"] Folks, I've just bought a pristine Sako TRGS M995 in calibre 7mm Rem Mag. I believe the twist rate is 1 in 10. The guy I bought it from supplied it with boxes of bullets: [LIST] [*]nosler 120gr Spitzer [*]hornady 139gr BTSP [*]Sierra 130gr matchkings HPBT [*]Berger 168gr VLDs [/LIST] Now I have a stockpile of a few trusted powders: [LIST] [*]Ramshot Magnum [*]Ramshot BigGame [*]Varget [*]Vhit N133 [*]Vhit N140 [/LIST] Question 1: Can anyone suggest some loads using these bullet and powder combinations? I'd rather try to work out something accurate with what I have than start with an unknown powder that is specialist for this rifle only. Question 2: I've never tried these VLDs but have heard that they can be particularly troublesome to get the best out of. Does anyone have any advice with this bullet, in this calibre? Perhaps a powder I really shouldn't miss or setup with the rifle? Thanks [/QUOTE]
