[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 613308, member: 29890"] 162 at 3000fps wth? My best friend sometimes hunts with his 7mm mag (24" pencil barreled savage 110 with a brake) I just finished testing his ground hog exploding loads which consist of winchester brass, 162grn hornady bthp match, 73grns H1000, fed215M primers and a 3.410" OAL, had a ES of 18fps and averaged 3236fps from a 24" toothpick, and will hold under 3/4 moa for 5 shots and the rifle is 15 years old. So what is the remaining energy and velocity with a 162grn bullet with a .61bc at 800yards with just 3150 muzzle velocity for example, I think some of you are not giving the ole 7mm mag the respect it deserves, it took off fast in 1962 and been going strong ever since. Oh and the black bear with a 22lr was not a joke, my grandfather had 2 22lrs, a 30-30, and a 12ga, and always grabbed his semi auto 22lr that I still enjoy shooting to this day. [/QUOTE]
