My Model 70 in 7mm RM is one of my oldest rifles. It is definitely a shooter. If there wasn't a border between us (and DHS blocking such sales), I'd sure be tempted to pick this up, just because. Looks to be a winner for someone.

That'll do!

Twenty-two inch barrel. I kept all OAL at 2.80 inches to fit magazine. My loads worked quite well on moose, elk, and black bear. I never used the cartridge on grizzly, but I had no doubt it would work quite well if the need were to arise.

I tested RL with Hornady 250 SP, achieving 2565 fps. I also tested W748 with Woodleigh 250 RN to deliver 2524 fps. My hunting loads were built around either 200 grain TSX or 225 grain Nosler PT. Powerhouse loads, all.

I used H870 with 175 grain Partitions, 175 grain Grand Slams, and 175 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claws in my 7mm RM. The loads all delivered game for me.

Never used them, but as Jim intimated, they do look wicked. Perhaps just letting game know what you are using could cause a surrender?:unsure:

I lean toward Partitions, though I've had considerable success with both AccuBonds and E-Tips. I like these three, and use each of them. They give me a warm, fuzzy feeling when I hunt.:sneaky:

You must be planning on hunting rock chucks!:unsure: Well, the accuracy is there. You're set for anything in NA and far beyond. (y)

Appropriate assessment, Guy. Thank you.

Ah, yes, fifty years. Truly a milestone. Happy birthday, and here's to many more.

And that's the way we're supposed to handle the hard knocks of life! (y)

Shot from a 325 WSM; MV ~2500 fps. Game distance from 170 to 220 yards. I eventually switched to 200 grain PT in that rifle in order to get higher velocities of ~2750 fps. This load worked as well as the previous load. I sold the rifle and switched to an 8X68 S, for which I'm still...

I've used these on elk with great success.

He'll do. (y)

Yes.:cry:

As the old saying goes, "What does need have to do with it?" Not a bad justification.

Good spread, and mass. Yeah, he'd be a fine buck to invite home.

I can attest that 130 grain pills will take moose and elk (and a variety of smaller game) quite handily at the velocity you are reporting in your 270 WSM. I use the 130 grain E-tip, however. But I sure wouldn't hesitate to use the 130 grain Partition.

Congratulations!
