H1000 is my preferred flavor in 7mm REM Mag. 140gr-180gr bullets

Little late to the party. Personally, I’ve no interest in the 270 win. I don’t own any 27 caliber rifles actually, opting for 7mm instead in 7mm-08 and 7mm Rem Mag for standard use and “reach out & touch ‘em” respectively. That being said, a 270 WSM or 6.8 Western would certainly make me a happy...

Yeah, Leverevolution in my 7mm-08. Seeing nice velocities in load data for cfe 223 is what led me to Lever when CFE wasn’t available. If you look on a burn rate chart, they’re pretty close.

Luckily for me, Varget has not been a standout in any of my rifles. I am using Leverevolution in the applications where I have tried Varget. CFE, darn near the same thing. I wouldn’t hesitate to try Staball match or A2520 but there is truth to what has been said. You spend a hundred or two...

Santa just came back….apparently there was a lost 8lber of Leverevolution and some 450m’s floating around the bottom of his sack! Also, Midsouth has free shipping right now…lol

You have your priorities straight. Everything else is just fluff…

The brass situation for the 7 WSM is bulloni….6.5 prc brass seems to be widely available though. At least currently…

Frankly, I don’t understand the 7 PRC. It matches a 7mm Rem Mag if you know how to do the 7 mag correctly. OK, that’s not nothin’ but it seems to be solving all the problems that I don’t have with my 7 mag? IMO….it should have been a 300 PRC straight necked down to 7mm and left alone? Now the...

Socks, shirts, boots. Luckily Santa had more of a budget to work with and a much better understanding of my shooting related wish list! Lo and behold….a box with an Arken SH-4J 6-24 x50 ffp vpr reticle was found under the tree….

Anyone here try them? Thoughts? I have been using cci 450m and don’t have any complaints except availability and price.

I use Lever with 75gr in my .223. I’m pretty sure cfe223 would be almost the same.

My opinion is that it’s just BS. Prices have been edging down and they don’t like it. Read between the lines on this….”anticipated shortage” (meaning it hasn’t happened yet) “ and thus has increased our prices”. So speculation of something that hasn’t occurred has increased your prices? Funny...

33% more expensive for 11% less BC,7mm 185 RDF vs 7mm 180 eld-m. Not competitive with Hornady on merit. I guess we’ll give the moral high ground to Nosler for a win.

I agree with you there! Great bullets, horrible politics from Hornady. I’m not trying to bash Nosler, just explain why I think they’re falling behind. Too much coasting, not enough innovating and apparently not enough manufacturing capacity either.

Yes. Blown fist size holes through shoulder and spine on antelope of the same size with eld-m. Kills the ever living fire out of game, so “designed for game”, that’s nice. If Nosler wants to stick with that line then whatever just ride it out and see how it goes. Accubond at least has legit...
