I agree with both of you and I have some of the 200gr Accubonds. and may use them next time. Choosing a good stout bullet gives you a little more insurance in getting the job done.I shot a red stag with my 300 Win Mag using a 180gr Ballistic Tip.This one was at 125yds,MV 3140fps,hit onside...

Congrats on your awesome stag!!!

I'd say the brass used in testing is new brass.I've bought thousands of once-fired brass from a ballistic tech who was doing pressure testing.The brass he sold usually was in lots of 250-500 the same headstamp.Most of it was Winchester,Remington or Hornady.I was getting most of the brass I have...

They do have some good stags but they don't advertise hunts anymore.I got in through a friend of the ranch owner.I've hunted there for the last five years.They are considered culls if they don't have the typical three point crown at the tip of the antlers.I don't mind shooting culls,they way...

Texas has a lot of exotic game,mostly in the central part of the state.I'm lucky to have a private ranch about 20 miles from my home in Corpus Christi that lets me hunt their cull stags.I really like the meat and they are a good freezer filler too.

I killed this Red Stag with a 308 Norma Magnum using a 180gr Accubond.I guess you could say this was a good test for the Accubond and shows the importance of using a stout bullet when shooting larger elk type game animals.Hitting heavy bones can happen and really do a number on a bullet.I shot...

Why not contact Winchester and let them know about your issues along with the lot number on the box.I too had some issues with Winchester primers I had bought between 2008 and 2012.I sent back 5,000 and they paid me a little more than what I paid for them or I could have requested them to just...

Here is a thread on the 7mm/300WM https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/just-got-my-7mm-300-win-mag-reamer.207589/

No the 7mm PRC really isn't much different than the 7mag.It is built around Hornady bullets using a faster twist rate barrel on a short action.The issue I have with some of these cartridges is limited manufactures of brass.Next thing you know is,they come up with something new and the cartridge...

I know the 7STW is certainly a step up from the 7mag.It's really fast and seems to hit with a little more authority.It's a lot like a 300 Win Mag,where the 7mag to me is a lot like a good 30-06.I like my 7mag with 150 and 160gr bullets,but I really like the 7STW with 160 and 175 gr bullets.

"As a young man, I read Bob's Book on cartridges and his use of the 7mm Mashburn Super Mag. As I understand it, this is the Mashburn that has even less powder capacity than the Rem Mag, am I wrong?" The Super Mashburn is closer to the 7STW.Actually there were 3 different 7mm Mashburn's. The...

Wow!!! I have only a little over one pound of Reloader 26.Wish I would have bought an 8 pounder.That powder can do amazing things with the right bullet weights.

I filled a case to just below the neck with 80.0grs of Reloader 26.Not that I'd load that much,but I could easily seat a 225gr Hornady Spire point.A 225gr mono Hornady CX would be a different story.

Amazing results.You never know when magic happens until you give it a try.I may have to try the Reloader 26 with 225gr bullets.

Yep,that's the price of cheap ammo.

Here is how you can calculate how many cases you can load with a pound of powder. 7000 grains per pound,so divide 7000 by your charge of grains.So if I load 69.0grs of powder in a case,I can load 101 cartridges with one pound of powder.That would be five boxes of twenty. 1 Pounds = 7000 Grains...

I think the slower powders are the best all around choice in the 7mag.I like Reloader 22 and 26 in this cartridge with all bullet weights.With lighterweight bullets the 4350 powders work well with outstanding velocities.I've used A4350 with bullets up to 150gr,but moving up to 160's,you have to...

If I purchase powder or primers,I like to get them when I can get free shipping or free hazmat.At least that helps buffer the cost a little.I've been using: https://www.shootingbot.com/ It doesn't list all the companies,but Natchez,Brownell's or Powder Valley often have a free shipping or free...

Here is what works for me.For the price,TAC is hard to beat.
