If QL has this bullet or a Hammer Hunter around 120gr could I get some data for my sweet 7x57 25" bbl baby? Thanks!

At least it didn't blow it off the end of your barrel and ruin it! ha That's alot of powder/bullets down the drain, BUT you now know what to look for, and you got all that trigger time! Rejoice! :)

Rifles still at the Smith's, the MK V basically done, re-bedded, reamed to the Ackley. Kimber still waiting on its Trigger Tech and new, slender muzzle brake. It's having the Sightron Big Sky 3x12x42 mounted. I have gathered up for it some 154 TTH and some 155 Scenars for first loads. For CnC...

I looked in Bob's book, and I was wrong! On page 140 of "Game Loads and Practical Ballistics for the American Hunter" is a picture of his record book caribou, his Mashburn Super Mag and his load, a 160 NPT going 3240! I was so certain it was 3300! I guess I got that somewhere years back when...

Good read. Thanks Tex!

That 7mm/300WM is a good looking round, but doesn't one have to neck turn the brass, and neck ream the do-nut out?

Love the Bergara, my preference has always been the Hunter model. Two 300WMs. 30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor and a .270. Put TTs in most, hd "skim bedding" done, that's it. Just the right balance/weight for me, I want nothing heavier though.

I guess I was thinking of the 7mm PRC as being comparable to the Mashburn, glad I was wrong. Only reason I can see to own a 7mm PRC is to shoot the long, 180+ heavies, which I don't have confidence in their "up close/Timber shots" ability to hold up. I'm am way beyond OCD on wanting tough...

Sonny sent me a 1986 article by Bob himself on the Mashburn. I really believe, in his book with pictures, he sudstituted the 3300/160 with his 3300/140. He normally got 3200+/160. Well, I for sure got 3300+ in the 7mm STW and in that 7mm RUM, but neither shot the 160 consistently. I also just...

I am for sure BlackRam! ha I just can't make myself "accumulate". I feel OK with a handful of special rifles, but if I want a new/different one, I will sell (or sometimes pass it on to my SIL for my grand daughter's education ) at 14 she doesn't hunt, smothering/fearful daughter of mine as...

Sounds like a wonderful rifle you have! I had hoped to get that kind of performance from my Mod 70 7mm STW. My very first 7mm STW was in a Sendero. Back in mid 90's. I had intended to use only the 140s in it. Once I had it all set up and a good load worked up with the 140 NBT, I felt the need to...

Admittedly, that 28 Nosler intrigues me, however just not a LRH. I like to snoop n poop around the edges of dark timber and aspens. Even up on the ridges, 250 has been my longest shot. I average 171 yds on the four elk I've shot and only 75yds on all the mule deer I've taken, ha. I on purpose...

My old gunsmith told me once he talked with a Weatherby guy at the Vegas Shot Show. He was told that Weatherby's bigger rounds run between 72 and 74K! One and done and "go buy another high dollar box of ammo}! ha

Ssssshh! I didn't want "everyone" knowing my best killing 35 WAI loads ran an estimated 72K+! ha

Ha, I like to see smoke rise from them Pard!

I just fell back to 140-150gr for the flat trajectory's, even in the RUM. But that 3300160 has been a White Whale for me in a 7mm Mag! Its why I don't have one right now!

I have owned 26" barreled 7mm STW and 7mm RUM, plus one 26" 7mm Rem Mag. I was never able able to get these kind of "Bob Hagel" speeds out of them. I was able to run 3100 out of the 160 (3200 w/the bigger cases) and 3000-3050/175. As a young man, I read Bob's Book on cartridges and his use of...

Another plus ( in my humble Opinion) Shilen's tend to be "fast barrels". Never had one that wasn't a Shooter either.

My Goodness Sheriff Guy! That's definitely "holding your mouth right" on that group! lol

Did you get a chance to take any game with that 200 Sierra Doc? If so, how did it hold up? I have shot that bullet alot in 30-06 and in a long barreled 30-06 Ackley, very accurate. Just never killed anything with it.
