First kill with the 7/300nmi.

[bfarms]

After 3 weeks of 140 inch and under bucks being the only thing I saw and numerous does, I decided to try out the new rifle on a doe the last evening of rifle season. Wasn't the distance I was wanting but she was the farthest one across the bean field. 682 yards. This Rifle has punched paper a lot father but haven't got to try it on an animal yet.
Rifle was chambered by a custom reamer
Designed by my freind and jgs built the reamer. Shooting 180gr bergers this go around. Have some custom 180s from R. robinett but haven't tried them out yet.

red arrow is where I was sitting

She'll eat better than a big buck anyhow. Congrats on the harvest.

I don't need another caliber to get into (7mm) but this cartridge interests me.
The big 7s are hammers for a long way out there.

But I already have a 300 & 338 NMI.

Post up one of the loaded rounds if you don't mind.

That's one beautiful gun!

What MV are you getting with the 180?
Thats a beast

300wby on the left and 7/300nmi on the right.
So far I love this round. Running right at 3400fps before pressure

3412fps. It can be run harder but was having bullets come apart

Thank you sir

Id say 3400+ will do.
The older I get the shorter and fatter cases are definitely becoming my favorite.
cartridge cases. Not head cases.

Imo the short fat cases are hard to beat. But that's just my opinion lol

Do you happen to know case capacity in graIns of water?

My 300NMI can run just under 3200 with 230 Hybrids with N570 powder.

N570 is on my list to try. I've gotta swap barrels before I push bullets any harder to get them to live. Hoping the 5r cures that issue. I thought about doing the 300nmi but settled on the 7/300nmi.
