I am working up a load for my 7 mag and want to f ok it right. I have had a 7 mag in the past (a bolt, very accurate great gun). I have now upgraded to the Christensen Arms Mesa in 7 mag. The gun has a vortex viper 4-16x50 hs-lr on it. I would like to work up a load and stick with it. I am fortunate enough to be born in Montana and am able to hunt most western critters the same afternoon out of my back door. I would like to get dialed and send my info off to kenton industries for a custom turret. The long range hunter turret specifically. I have a box of 168 grain barnes lrx's. I am having second thoughts as to whether or not that's the bullet to be married to. Thd gun has a 1 in 9 twist. I'm not trying to overthink it, I just would like to get dialed and practice and have 1 rifle I am proficient with to 500-600 yards and all the way in to 25. Is the lrx thd right bullet? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks guys
