    Custom 20” 7MM REM Mag

    I reloaded the 162gr ELDX’s and settled on 71gr of Retumbo. Only large rifle primers I could find around here were Remington 9 1/2. I shot a 4 shot group last time out. First 3 bullets were touching at 100 yards. 4th spread the group to .56”. Barrel was quite warm on that shot and a tornado...

    170" Whitey killed on the ground @ 25 yds

    Big mature buck with a 22-250. Great shot. Good thing you didn’t have to make a long shot. That wind would blow that little bullet a lot!

    New to 7mm Rem Mag & western whitetail

    162gr ELDX, 155gr terminal ascent are what I’ve been using to shoot deer on depredation this spring. 10 deer so far and all but 1 dropped in their tracks. If you hit bone, front shoulders could be done for, but through the lungs the bullets held together well and did their job nicely. Shots from...

    16" deer gun

    If hunting public land where straight wall cartridges are required, then consider the 350 Legend. If not, then may as well stick with 6.5CM, 7mm08 or .308.

    What Newer Rifle Rounds Do You Think Will or Will Not Stick Around?

    I think 6.5PRC will fade. Doesn’t seem to be that significant of an improvement on the 6.5CM for how much more the ammo costs. That’s around my area at least.

    EDIT to my above post. 160 nosler partitions, not 180.

    7mm Rem Mag Twist Rate & Grain Weight Concerns

    It’s funny you post this. I’m new here as well, but I actually have a Bergara B14 Wilderness ridge with 1:9.5 twist. I have used it with Factory Federal terminal ascent 155’s. It also shoots 180grain nosler partitions, Barnes VRX 160’s and Federals with Hornaday ELDX 163’s good too. I want to...

    Custom 20” 7MM REM Mag

    I wanted to share my experience with a build I’ve recently completed. Why did I go 20” barrel length? Well, my 24” Bergara 7mm mag with brake is the loudest gun I’ve owned. Simply put, if I can’t shoot a gun suppressed, or it’s too long with a can, I don’t really want the gun these days...

    20” 7mm Rem Mag, suppressed????

    For anyone wondering, my 7mm rem mag with 20” barrel got a proper break in this past weekend. Then, we dialed it to 200 yards. 1.5” at 200 yards and stretched to 400 this week. Excellent shooter with factory ammo. Velocities ranged from 2750 to 3010 fps and bullets from 155gr to 162gr. I may...

    20” 7mm Rem Mag, suppressed????

    I’ve been reading this thread off an on for weeks, all while digging anywhere I could to find info on 20” 7RM. Putting a can on my Bergara wilderness ridge is too long and heavy. Without the can it’s deafening! There’s a few guys in New Zealand that cut their’s down and posted on YouTube. One...
