[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1911190, member: 105459"] [B]Offered for your Examination:[/B] [I][COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]The Remington 7mm Magnum in all it's resplendent glory [/COLOR]. It is a cartridge that should not be overlooked,( my findings ) preferring a slower burning powder such a Hodgdon' s H4831. Pair this with a Horandy 162 Grain SST (BC 550) and you have a accurate bullet capable of reaching 1000 yards. , with the cooperation of the wind and other elements, myself included. MV chrono graphed at 2798 FPS. ( average 3 shot reading. ) For optimal results I suggest load development using Satterlee Ladder test and OCW load test along side your trusty chronograph in order to find your best shooting node. A combination of powder and bullet using Starline Brass and Federal GM210M. plus the component's already listed has worked well for me and is a proven harvester of game.[/I] [B]Considerations:[/B] [I]You will have a cartridge that for a magnum caliber has several big adages. 1) Very manageable recoil. 2) By using a muzzle brake you will have faster second strike capabilities 3) Extended barrel life again for a magnum cartridge. 4) Less chamber and throat erosion compared to other calibers. yielding longer barrel life. 5) More than adequate supply of reloading components available. 6) .284 Diameter Bullets can be had in a variety of configurations and weights from many different manufacturers. 7) The proven ability to reach out and touch something any time or any place. Additionally the Barnes 168 grain LRX BT (BC 550) bullet using the same Hodgdon's H4831 powder will yield a slightly slower MV which will average at just under 2800 FPS and is another (for me ) proven load. The Berger 168 Grain VLD Hunting bullet (BC.618) is another great choice for your choice as a hunting performance bullet. With a very high BC of .618 G1, and a wonderful track record again using Hodgdon's H 4831 your MV will be hovering close to the 2800FPS mark.[B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][I] (All of the above can be loaded to reach a MV in excess of 2850FPS but [/I]please work slowly and gradually up to this watching all the typical overpressure signs! )[/COLOR][/B][/I] [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Conclusions:[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][I] I offer my thoughts for you to ponder upon.
