7 SAW

[Klutz]

Loading a 139 lrx in my sons 7 saw. He shot a bull a few weeks ago at 390. Acted like he was hit by lightning.

that's the same bullet I'm useing. what kind of velocitys are you getting and how long of a barrel?

We are about 2925 without pushing on it real hard. I can't recall the charge weight but we're loading varget.

That's really good! My boy's barrel is 24" and chambered saw1 as well. I may have to stand on it a bit more this winter. My original hope was to be closer to 3050+ but we ran out of time to tinker before hunting season.

thinking I got a fast barrel. haven't played with varget at all so I can't say what you'll end up at. but if you cant get what your after id try out N540 or even N550. seems decently temp stable. haven't shot it in the 80*+ days or -30 yet. but it's been acceptable from 20 to 60 so far
