My rifle is a Sendero. All I had to do was lighten the trigger pull. It is my "Wyoming rifle". I hunt Mule Deer on a ranch between Douglas and Gillette every year.

POP, the exact load I use is 94.0gr of Retumbo with the 160 Accubond and Federal's GM215M primer. OAL is the maximum that will still feed through the magazine. Cases are, of course, Remington. Velocity ranges between 3375 and 3400. This is an absolute max load for my rifle and components. I...

I now have a great deal of experience with this caliber and have found it to be the best long range killer I have ever shot. I much prefer it to a .30 caliber of any description. Try Retumbo powder and the 160gr Accubond. I am getting an honest 3400fps from my 26" barrel. Nosler has reported...

skb2706 I think the Sendero is just about perfect for some situations but like you note it is a handfull to carry all day. I would have thought they were good sellers for Remington judgeing by the number I see in my part of the country. I don't know any one who doesn't like the way they shoot...

My understanding is that Remington has discontinued the Sendero so you had better hurry if interested.

548, my load is 94.0grs of Retumbo, the 160 Accubond, and GM215M primers. Average velocity is 3400fps with five shots usually going under one inch at one hundred yards. It takes about ten shots to settle my barrel down if I start with a perfectly clean barrel. After that point accuracy stays...

loader, I think 30" ought to make the 7mm Ultra Mag really hum. Your estimate sounds about right to me though I have no experience with a 30" barrel. That ultra case holds a heck of a lot of powder and 30" ought to take full advantage of it. Frankly, I go through rifles and cattridges like...

Short of pressure testing equipment you can't really be sure what pressure you are getting. Some rifle and load combinations can be way over safe pressures and show none of the common signs, but primers are not necessarily a valid indication of excess pressure by themselves. Anyway, if you are...

I couldn't agree more kutenay. Actually, the best rifle for Elk is the one you have in your hand when a big bull is standing in front of you. That said, my caliber of choice for Elk is a .338 Win. Mag. and the bullet is a 250 Partition. I hear stories about how well a slew of smaller calibers...

EVERY TIME I have purchased a scope other than a Leupold I ended up wishing I had not.

I too would like to see the new rifle chambered in some more "traditional " calibers as I have a perhaps irrational aversion to the short and fats. How about a .300 Win Mag.?

Haven't used the 30-30 but some years ago I used a 7-30 Waters and 7-30 JDJ in 14 inch Contender barrels to kill between 30-40 deer both in season and on crop damage permits. The usual bullet was the 140gr Ballistic Tip. I don't think the bullet had been on the market long at that time and may...

I've been shooting with a group of guys where there are numerous Remington Senderos in a variety of calibers and all of them seem to shoot very well. I would give the Sendero a close look if I were you.

As much as I like the Accubonds, unless I am anticipating a need to reach way out there I go with the Partition.

You might be suprised at what the 130 Partition can do. I know I was. Several years ago I went deer hunting in Colorado and, as there was some Elk season left, bought an Elk tag as sort of an after thought. As luck would have it I saw no deer at all but did take a pretty good 5x5 bull. The...

Any chance of a 250gr .338 Accubond?

Outstanding Pop! You obviously have a rifle that will shoot and know how to use it. Personally, I like all of the Ultra Mags 7mm, 300, 338. It is no suprise that the .300 is the most popular. If any of the Ultras are on the way out the .300 will be the last to go. Good shooting!

Word is Remington is dropping all the Ultra Mags but I don't put much faith in "word". Anyway, No the STW will not really run with the Ultra Mag. However, it is so close that it doesn't matter assumeing pressures are equal. Anything one will do the other will do as well. If you think the STW...

No I have not. Before I got my rifle I heard some stories about the caliber being difficult to load for and a big part of the problem seemed related to pressure but I just haven't experienced it. I confess I approched loading for the catridge very carefully because of what I heard. I am...

UltraB, the 7mm Ultra is a fantastic caliber. I have been working with it for over two years now and one of the best loads I have found uses Retumbo with the 160 Accubond bullet. I can run this bullet out of my Sendero at just over 3400fps with under minute of angle accuracy. It is the just...
