WTS Compact Hunter / Practice Rifle

[AMG04]

I put this rifle together to match my NRL Hunter rifle. Plan was to have a lower cost, lighter recoiling rifle for practice. Slow the rounds down so I can learn to watch trace and read the wind, etc.

I dont have time to manage multiple rifle systems. Two of everything, twice the load development, twice the cost... you get the idea.

This will make a great deer and hog rifle...

Never looked into 7br. What are the common bullets used for this cartridge and average apeeds?

I planned on running the Berger 140gr VLDs. Based on Quickload projections, it should run 2500-2600fps.

At the OBT node, its at 2560fps.

That just edges out the 308s 168 FGMM loads. Slightly less drop and drift with equal energy on target. BUT 65% less recoil!
