Bud - I can't begin to list all the help I have received off this forum after picking up both reloading and a used 7mmRM a few years ago. Here are 2 threads I keep bookmarked. Both have QL data and good insights: https://forum.nosler.com/threads/7mm-rem-mag-loads.10386/...

Ernie - I never killed a deer at more than 85 yards until 2020. Prior to 2020 I have always hunted the woods in TN. I have a 7mm-08 that I have now developed a 150g Partition load for (43g of Varget). It hits within a half inch at 100, and the second dot down on my Leupold reticle is spot on...

Yesterday I hiked up Big Frog Mountain here in Southeast TN. I bumped into 3 black bear at different spots along the 11 miles; the second made my HR jump to 176 according to my watch. He was sleeping just off the trail and I got a bit too close so that it scared us both. My dog is now too...

Until I started reloading 2 years ago, I never thought much about accuracy. If I thought about it at all it went like this: 1) get some some different Hornady loads and a box of Cor-Lokt for the season, 2) find what shot under 1", 3) set my rifle up one inch high at 100 yards, 4) repeat next...

Great thread. My first unicorn was a 16ga Browning, built on a 16 gauge frame with a schnabel forearm. Browning came out with a special run of the 525 about 5 years ago and I found my first unicorn to be a new unicorn. My second unicorn is still in the wild: an M70 featherweight in 7mmWSM...

I've just started working on another 7mmRM I bought. I too have RL-22. I loaded to Nosler's specs Saturday and with my first three shots at 200 yards using 150g Partitions I got this group moving around 3250 ft/sec: If I confirm next weekend I'll just call it good. (You also mention Ramshot...

I wish I had some great yarn to spin or a tale to tell. I'm not the best at calling these birds, nor do I understanding their habits. Mostly they mock me each weekend of the season if they talk to me at all. Alas, neither my buddy or I killed one the weekend before (opening weekend), but we...

Perfect morning... -B

My son loves cooking game. That night I think he broiled them wrapped in bacon, black beans, peppers, wild rice. From field to table in but a few hours...

Forgot to get this posted in November. Son's first pheasant. NW Iowa.

In the early 80's our small town in Tennessee had a gun club (skeet and trap) just outside the city limits. Nobody there was under the age 60. If I would come on Tuesday afternoons to pull and keep score, I was allowed to shoot for $.75 per round at the end of the day. My mom or dad would...

All - I have just begun to dial in a new 7mmRM T3x Superlight with 160g Accubonds or Partitions. Thanks to FOTIS and Dr. Mike and others, I found on other posts the QL data and such. I have worked my way up to 66.0g of RL-22 where there was a distinct accuracy node. My last 2 3-shot groups at...

Found. Thanks.

Labor Day Weekend means the opening of Dove Season in Tennessee. Quick limits this year...

Do any of you do this with a duplex reticle? And if you do, can one get overlap between the MPBR of the crosshairs and the MPBR off the top of the bottom post? Is your distance in the small wires close enough or your rifle shooting fast enough for overlap? Context: I have never shot a deer...

All - looking for a used one of these. Thank you in advance. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/110552/tikka+t3+jrtxgsl70+t3x+superlite+bolt+7mm+rem+mag+243+3%2B1+green+fixed+synthetic+stock+matte+black+receiver

Many thanks. Leaning in makes a difference in the basement; and the write-up on PRB was insightful. I hope to practice later this month. B

I picked up a used Pig Tripod, Sunwayfoto ball, and Hog Saddle this week. This morning I went and shot while sitting on my bum. What kind of accuracy should I expect? Off a bag at 200 yards I shoot under .5 MOA. Prone with a bipod I shoot the same. This morning I was 1.5 MOA seated shooting...

Update - For the last 3 weekends I have gotten .7" for each 3-shot group with 175g Partitions, and .5" for 160g Accubonds. (I have been so pleased with this.) I picked up a headspace gauge last week to make my brass more consistent; and then I seated the Accubonds a few thou lower b/c of a...

All, many thanks for your advice and information. Since measuring to the ogive I have gotten consistent groups week to week with both my 175g and 160g Partitions. Now to get to work on my 7mm-08. Bill
