[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 317058, member: 9736"] I have been doing some development with a new 7 WSM. I know there will be people that say the 7 Rem mag will duplicate the ballistics. I purchased a 6mm BR a couple of years ago and was amazed at how accurate it was and the method of finding an accurate load was easy - load it hot and play with seating depth. I looked at the 7 WSM as a larger version that should be as easy to load for. I loaded up a 8 shot ladder test and took it to the range. It shot a 1.12" group at 200 yards with 2.25 grains of powder variation. A tad over the mysterious .5 MOA. With the same powder charge it shoots less than 1/2" at 200 yards. This is a factory Savage model 16. The powder configuration must make a difference. If you want and awesome medium range cartridge that really performs and has some serious performance at 500 yards look at the 7 WSM or the 7 SAUM. Great selection of bullets with very good BC's and incredible accuracy. [/QUOTE]
