[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2140062, member: 10755"] Comparing my 2 hunting rifles, a 264WM 1:8” 29” barrelled custom and my 7STW, with standard 1:9.25” twist, the 142gr ABLR has a higher BC than a 168gr ABLR. I was not comparing the best 7’s as you put it. I should have said that the 264 bullets have better BC when looking at the standard hunting bullet weights, not the heavies. I know I can push a 180 in my STW, but do I need to? I know, and have, pushed 230’s in my 300WM’s, but it is slow in comparison to a 210. What can easily push a 7mm 195 at or close to 3000fps? I don’t know about everyone else, but I have stated this here many times, I have a limit for banging stuff at long distances, if the bullet used cannot reach 3000fps at the muzzle, I find another that will in the intended cartridge/rifle. This is my absolute minimum speed to start with. My 6.5x47 is good to 1000, as that was what it was designed for, but I max out with it at 600 for mid range F-class and Hunter class. Anyway, this discussion is moot, with the non-existent supply of hardware (bullets/brass/primers/powder) we have to shoot what we can get. No more Berger’s to be had here as the importer has dropped the bundle and run. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
