7wsm

[dmj]

Sorry don't remember the powder used and I won't be around my reloading room for several days. But use 168 Berger in one of my 7mm wsm. The other one use 143 Hammer. Also have shot some 140 rem cor-lock and they shot extremely well. Never tried them but would think the 160 accubonds would stand a chance of shooting well. Good luck

I just picked up the Browning A Bolt 7WSM for a test run. Owner also provided 3 1/2 boxes of Winchester Nickel Plated Ammo. Not sure what the value of this rifle is. There are a few scratches on the stock, otherwise the gun is very clean. I will have to do some more research. I know the owner personally and he is very meticulous about his guns. It only has about 30 rounds shot thru it. I will clean the oil out of the barrel and bore scope it. After it cools down a bit, I will take it to the range.
I will check back in after I go to the range.

If you aren't sure about the value....I'd start with what you paid for it....just me!

Thanks for the reply. The owner is letting test it to see if I like it. He is an older friend of mine. I have not paid for it. We have not discussed the price yet. I am sure it will be fair. He is that kind of guy.

It wasn't clear that you hadn't bought it yet...sorry....the WSM's are awesome..
I have the x-bolt .270 wsm and IT'S A SHOOTER...so I'd venture a guess...6-700.00 ?

I have the same gun . I think it's a 1:8.5 twist iirc , you can contact browning web site with serial number and they will give you the twist rate . Love mine . 140s for deer 160s for elk . I have killed both with them . I have not reloaded for it because I bought a lot of factory loads last time I could . I do have some 90 grain hammers to try just for the fun and speed !

Thanks for the info. I was thinking in that price range also. Not sure yet about the scope.
Going to the range on Monday. That is my day to run the range, so I will have to squeeze some time between the clays events.
Thanks again for the feed back.

I have read all five pages of this article and the only thing that didn't see was
Sherman Wildcat 7mm MAX . The 7 Max is Sherman 7wsm, the Max has a longer
neck and a 40 degree shoulder the brass is ADG brass I sold my 7 max and went
to a 270 Mega Sherman Wildcat has some great brass.

Good luck with what you decide...the WSM'S are a lot of fun and overlooked by most.

Personally I'm a 270 guy, that being said, the 7WSM is highly underrated. It is an amazing cartridge, that if I had the chance to purchase a rifle in that I would definitely jump on it. I believe ADG makes brass for it occasionally.

So far, I have found Hornady Brass at Midway,& Bertram Brass at https://deserttechmunitions.com. Midway has Winchester Ammo.
Buying the Winchester Ammo is an option. Brass is reloadable per website. It might be nickel plated?
Or, as others have stated, neck up 270 WSM brass. Midway has a large selection available.
