    NM Private Land Elk Hunt

    I am not trying to start an argument but there are some clarifications needed. 10% of draw tags are allocated to the outfitter pool. Residents have full access to this pool for MB ES, (and COW tags which only residents can draw). Zero landowner tags are allocated to the outfitters by NMGF. NMGF...

    7 RM 160 NAB w/H4831sc load data

    Generally my loads end about 1 grain below listed max for my best accuracy. I work up loads at rangefinder verified 100 yds, off a concrete bench, at a public little used range 5 miles from home. I then dial in scope at 100 but zeroing for 200 using Hornaday ballistic calculator assuming a...

    7 RM 160 NAB w/H4831sc load data

    I looked at their website before working up this load. Hogdon Reloading Center lists a lighter max load with H4831 than my old Hogdon manual by 3 grains for 160 grain NPT, but their pressure is way below other max loads listed. CYA! I see no pressure signs, even up to my maximum test loads of...

    7 RM 160 NAB w/H4831sc load data

    I do not have a chronograph so only a SWAG or Scientific Wild Ass Guess. Judging from ballistics through shooting various distances 100-300 yds likely around 2975-2980fps. I load to full SAAMI cartridge length, resize a tad under full length to bump the shoulder back, as I could not care less...

    Do you trust OnX?

    I killed a New Mexico bull in 2024, public draw tag, on private property without written permission, legally. Without ONX Hunt it would not have happened. We got out of the truck to hunt National Forest but heard 3 bulls across the road on private property as we exited the truck to hunt. The app...

    Hunting bullet performance - prefer through or a grenade inside?

    40 years ago I tried 85gr hollow points in my 243 on whitetail deer. I shot a buck at 100yds in the boiler room 5 times before it collapsed after traveling 100 yds. Been shooting a 7mm RM since that day using Nosler Partitions, no reason to change. My veteran elk guide when asked about preferred...

    7 RM 160 NAB w/H4831sc load data

    Anyone have a more recent Hogdon manual to check this load. My manual is 40 years old. I worked up a sub .5 moa round for elk hunting in my Remington 700 BDL 7mm RM using H4831sc which my bedded, floated barrel w/oem walnut stock, loves for 140 and 150 grain Nosler partitions, with 63.7 and...

    Ramshot Grand powder

    Grafs has it also. Hogdon has data for it at Hogdon Reloading Center.com For my 7mmRM they show 200 fps faster than H1000, Magpro, etc with lower pressures also. Thinking of trying a pound even though H4831sc gets me .625 MOA or less @ 100 yds on 140,150,175 Nosler Partitions. I have a NM elk...

    Ramshot Grand, and did it replace Magnum?

    Grand and Magnum are next to each other in Hodgon's latest burn chart that I downloaded 6-26-2024. Likely same burn speed, different formula slightly I guess. Hogdon owns Ramshot. Different descriptions for each powder but both also state great performance in 7mmRM. Hogdon Reloading Data Center...

    Sierra Game King Bullets

    I would note that if using the Sierra manual you may find different BC's than listed on their web site. My manual was printed in the 70's and lists to 160 spitzer boat taiI 20% too high. I talked to a Sierra tech today and he told me my manual is incorect and the web site numbers are correct...
