577 yards quartering to us. The 195 hit just inside the front of the left shoulder. Traveled through the boiler room, destroyed the left lung. Shrapnel in the right lung. Bull went 75 yards and tipped over dead.

632 yard shot. Broadside. The 195 hit the point of the shoulder. Dropped the bull like a ton of rocks. Have it on video but this site won't allow me to load it.
 
It's a beautiful picture :). 300 RBH fire formed and annealed ready to go. Rbros/Travis builds amazing rifles, I can even make it shoot under .5 moa just fire forming the brass and really not even trying, I was using factory Berger 300 NM 230 gr OTM ammo to fire form brass.

That's going to be a real hammer!

My thoughts have changed and so my above comments are amended also.
As soon as this7RBH barrel is cooked I'm switching to the 30RBH. 10+years of testing and development on the 7 and I have come to a realization that the 7mm bore is too unforgiving and finicky for this over bore case. It's taken hundreds of rounds and many barrels of testing but I'm leaving the 7RBH on the back burner for now
 
The fact that i can run a 300 grain Berger with H1000 and a 24" barrel to 2830 with H1000 without hitting pressure says something. It didn't want to shoot up high with H1000, so i will try N570 Tuesday when it comes in. I also have a 300 NMI i need to thread on and start playing with. I agree that the 7MM is just too much. I had a 28 Nosler and settled for a 7 SAUM. To me that is the perfect balance for a 7mm. 180's at 2900-3000 is about all i need it for.
