7mm sherman max

[codyadams]

My wife's 7 max is slowly coming together, have the Manners EH1 in hand, have the action on order from Defiance, going with the anTi long action, BDL set up, and either a HCA or Bartlien carbon barrel, and will be 20" to eventually be ran supressed. The LOP is 12.25" for my wife, and with the 20" barrel will be a handy little rig, and finished weight should be 8-9 lbs depending on the scope. So depending on how long Defiance takes to make my action, I will have some short barreled data on this rig. Hoping to hit 2900 fps with the 180's.

I also forgot to mention that Whidden sent me the longer seating stem. It works well for the 162s as well as the 195s. They sent it to me for free.

195 7 Max vs 162 7 SAUM

Have you done any testing yet with the 195s or 180s

 

[OCHuntin]

I haven't. I've got 195s loaded up for my first round of OCW testing. I have 190 ATIPs I'm going to load too. I probably won't shoot 180s. I'm gonna get some 190 Bergers too.

 

[Lenwood901]

Thank you let us all know how it goes

62 exactly and the berger seated at .043" off the rifling..I'm not sure about the case capacity. But I have a little more room for more powder but that is about as high as I can go with my rifle.

Have the opportunity to get about 4 pounds of n565. What are some speeds people have been getting with 180s? Elds or bergers.
