[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 1551343, member: 20769"] Wow, this is an active thread. In just over 12 hours almost two pages of comments added. I had a few questions asked of me, so here are the answers. What brass am I using? I am using Winchester brass. I bought 600 pieces when I got the gun, and I still have 300 unopened. I do weigh, inspect, and sort my brass. I do spend time prepping it but I dont go crazy on it. Any piece that does not fall into my short list of specs gets put into the "hold for emergencies" bag, but it is not trashed. As for the platform. It is a SSG built 7 WSM. 26" Brux barrel, with SSG brake, on a Defiance long action. McMillian A5 stock with Jewel trigger and removable flush mount mag. On top is a ATACR 5.5-22x56 Gen 2. I use H1000 powder with either the 180 VLD's or the 175 ABLR. I preffer the Berger for dead nuts accuracy, and the ABLR for dead right there performance. Out to 580 yards, both have the same POI. Big open fields, I shoot the Berger, tighter/thicker woods and brush, the ABLR. As for velocity, I am holding 3040fps. Just to continue the discussion, I also have a 7-300. Almost identical case and ballistics and the two guns I have are identical components and twins. The 7-300 has much more brass options, and one more stage of brass prep, but the longer neck may offer more stability for the bullets...(I carry and hunt with my 7 WSM)... but as with any caliber option, if you do your part, know your gun, know your range, know your ethical shooting distance, any round suitable for your target can be deadly. Don't get hung up on a single caliber or round, get serious learning and tweaking the ballistics of your meat gun and they all do the same job. [/QUOTE]
