They were "2.770"

I did some first time load testing with my Rem 700 Titanium 7mm SAUM today. I was using 139gn Hornady BTSP with Rem 9 1/2M primers. Ordinarily, I'd use 140gn Accubonds when hunting but the 139gn Hornady BTSP gave me the info I needed to start out. These chronographed loads are all a 5...

According to the Woodleigh manual !

For hunting larger game I always use Nosler Accubonds. I've used them in 270 Win, 270WSM, 280Rem, 7mm/08, 7mm Rem Mag and 308Win. They always performed well and shot accurately. Here's a few pics of recovered 150gn Accubonds from my Rem 700 .308.

When this first generation Rem 700 Titanium in 7mm saum popped up recently I couldn't help myself and bought it immediately. Thankfully, it came with 100 Remington cases , 65 of which had never been used, so I dont think its had too much use. Load development will start shortly with RL19...

Where I live on the Gold Coast Qld, Aus, I'm lucky enough to have a huge variety of interesting wildlife frequenting my backyard Here's a few. Female Koel Male Satin Bowerbird Male Koel Red Necked Wallaby & Joey

I used a lot of Winchester WXR (Winchester Extruded Rifle) when it was still available. I was always led the believe it was made in the same facility and just rebranded Reloder 22. I think it was replaced by W780.

In my Rem 700CDL 7mmRem Mag, when using 160gn Nosler Accubonds, RL25 produces the best velocity at 3000fps.

I've knocked up a few loads for my Marlin 1895 in 45/70 Gov, recently. 300gn Speer Jacketed HP's and 60gns of H335 was the winning formula. Believe me, I got some attention during my last trip to the range.

Here's a few more. I've photographed most of these birds hundreds of times and only keep about 5%, the other 95% get deleted as soon as I look at them. Female Satin Bowerbird ( or possibly a juvenile male ) Male Eastern Koel Rainbow Lorikeet. Juvenile Grey Butcherbird Pale...

A female Koel up close and personal.

The male Satin Bowerbird is usually quite shy but I was lucky enough to score this nice pic last year.
