257 Bee and 7mm Bee ready to rock.

[FOTIS]

Did go to the range yesterday and these 2 did quite well!

The 257 Bee did less than 1/2" at 100 with the 110 AccuBond at 3500 fps average.

The 7mm Bee slung the 150 ABLR's at 3300 fps and the group was under 1" with the fouler included!
Both of these will shoot flatter than Kate Hudson especially the 7mm bee with that 150 ABLR! Not too bad!

Pictures?

Those are interesting cartridges to me. I've only worked with the 7mm Bee on a couple of occasions, and the rifles I worked with were not spectacular in the accuracy department. Nevertheless, the though of working with that particular cartridge seems to excite me. The 257 Bees I've worked up all delivered good accuracy, stimulating the excitement quotient. Your workup should be interesting.

Did not get pictures. It was great all day long and then this sleet storm from Hades hit. Anna and I packed up and took off!

Fotis,

Nice work buddy.
The 7mm Wby is rocking with those 150 gr ABLR's. With a BC of .611 at 3300 fps, its as flat as road kill.

Thanks for sharing.

I use 73grain Norma MRP to a 150grain Nosler Pa in my .270wea. Velocity is about 3280 ft/sec.

Btw. I have just got a box of ABLR....

 

[Dr. Vette]

Thanks. It's quite the speed from that 7mm you are getting.

 

[SJB358]

Wow, those are two super loads! Man, I can't imagine a guy wanting for any more than those will deliver. That 150 ABLR in the 7mm Wby is fast!
