7WSM 180 Berger takes down two Grizzlies!

[cabinfever]

Nice bears! Just got back from Alaska myself and took a dall sheep and moose shooting 180 VLDs out of my 7 WSM. Anyone who says a 180 vld isn't sufficent enough for big boned animals hasn't hunted Alaskan moose with them. Dropped the moose with the 1st shpt at 639 yards.

What powder are you guys using to push those Berger 180 VLD's

I agree. Those moose can get up to 2000lbs. They are huge.

64-66 grains of h1000 cci-br2 primers, win brass works in all 5 wsm that I reload for.

Thanks Skyking, that's great to here, as I shoot the exact same load with fed 215M primers!

I would have never dreamed about taking a bear with one, but you've shown the 7WSM rifle in the right hands can make it happen!

Very impressive animals and shots with your 7mm wsm's!!! Thank you, I really enjoyed looking at them.

That can't be right, dangerous game can't be killed with less than .30 cal.

 

[Skyking]

Thanks guys! It was a good year for the WSM. Just remember. The animals don't know what kind of bullet just blew through there heart. They are averaging 2930-2975fps for the best shooting groups.
