I have tried Grand with my Tikka 7MM Rem Mag. I have not gotten the speeds you have but I have gotten the best velocity I have ever gotten out of my rifle. My tikka only has a 24 inch tube so I typically do not get the same velocities as others but I am very impressed with the speed and accuracy...
Yes Brian I have tried Magpro and gotten some great accuracy. The velocities have not been been as high in my rifle as I would have liked but great accuracy.
I may try to load 3 rounds 1 grain below max with Magpro and 3 rounds 1 grain below max with Grand and see how they compare.
I had posted a while back about some issues with my magnetospeed chrono. Never could get it right so i went with the Garmin. That thing is SWEET! Love the simplicity and the bluetooth feature to send info to the phone.
The rifle I shot tonight was a Tikka T3X in 7 Rem mag. I recently had this...
The more I read about the Garmin the more I like it!!
i will try to change the spacing block and see if I have any luck managing to use the magnetospeed.
I have a magnetospeed sporter chronograph. When shooting today I got a bayo sen2 reading on the display. Has anyone ever had this happen and what was your solution?
So my brother picked up a Browning X bolt with a recoil hawg brake in 7mmPRC. He was sighting it in today and I had to give it a try. He was shooting Hornady outfitter 160gr CX ammo. I pulled the trigger on the rifle and I swear the recoil felt like a a hot 6.5 creedmoor load. I expected a lot...
I am shooting a Browning X bolt 22 inch tube
Lapua brass CCI BR2 primer.
120 gr Barnes TTSX
I am wanting to shoot Staball 6.5 and also Reloader 16.
I have shot an initial load with both and had good looking results. Wanting to see quickload info so I have a little info on how far I can go...
I have plenty of 160gr Speer BTSP and 162gr ELD-X bullets that I am going to use. Going to try some initial loads with both and see which one looks better in the accuracy department and go from there.
Brian I am currently starting to work up a load using Magpro and the 7 Rem Mag myself. My reasoning is basically the same as yours, Magpro availability.
My son has anything that he would ever really need as a kid and is only into hunting and sports so for next Christmas I want to plan a hunting trip that we could take during Christmas break. My two nephews are about the same as my son in terms of their love of hunting so they would probably go...
A board to put them on works fine. Eventually the force will cause your boards to crack and break. I use a rough hewn 2x10 and it has split on both ends.
