You’re the master, Fotis, and I trust your judgement more than my own, but I will say that 3400 with a 110-120 class doesn’t seem completely unreasonable to me in your case.
I’m completely aware that 7mm is few calibers up and the cool affect that bigger bores have on velocity with...
They're fantastic bullets. I also used the 143 in a 280AI for my mule deer last year. He dropped at the shot. It was a frontal heart shot and the bullet exited out on the inside of one of the back legs. All the petals were somewhere in the intestines.
No meat was wasted at all, except the heart...
It still needs cerakote on the barrel, but it's done!
I'm currently inletting the KS stock for the barrel channel and the BDL, so this Christensen Arms Mesa stock is being used for now.
I'm a sucker for curly maple in all varieties, but this is beautiful in its own class. Good pick up. The fact it's flavored in 264 is also very appealing to me
Never used. Bought from a dude on ebay for a rebuild of my rifle, but ended up finding one that better served my purposes.
29 oz. 13.5 LOP. Long action. ADL
$350 TYD or best offer.
The factory Nosler 115s always have the cannelure; always have. It's for the factory crimp. They perform just the same as without. I wouldn't worry about it.
Go for it. It ain't the same, but I suppose it's along the lines of a 120 in the 280AI, which is like lighting. The AB will hold up to those velocities.
