7mm sherman max

[Corvalliscory]

Finished today, ships Monday. Built off a Tikka. Pretty excited to start messing with it. Mike @ Hell's Canyon is awesome. Going to try the 145 Bulldozer 2's first.

What bottom metal is that ?

 

[Corvalliscory]

Factory with a Hells Canyon magazine. Should work awesome.

Looks like Mike's new bottom metal actually. I have been antsy to buy it once he starts selling them as components. Matches the pics he posted of it a while back.

Maybe he installed one? I'm honestly not sure. I bought the rifle and shipped it to him the same day to work his magic...

Have been contributing and keeping up with this thread for a year+, and am now getting ready to work up a load with N570 and 180 gr VLD's. Was thinking of 62-65 grains, but seeking any and all input. Ultimately seeking 3000+ FPS. Thanks!

I ran all the way up to 69gr(2995fps) w/ 195s, this was a hot load. N565/H1000/RL26 may be a better burn rate w/ 180s, but N570 may get you to pressure. You'll need a drop tube to get more than 68gr in the case.
I tried 180 hybrids with RL26, 66gr was warm @ 3085fps, 67gr @ 3157fps was HOT stuck a case in the chamber and had to tamp it out with a cleaning rod.

Love that AG stock. Looks pretty solid. Hope it shoots as well as it looks.

Thank you, the gun smith tested it yesterday with factory Remington 7 saum loads yesterday.

BGHunter,

what magazine are you using?

I have a Stiller TAC30 sporting 300WSM barrel that I could use for 7 Max...
