7MM Rem Mag. BEST 100 Yard GROUP

[Idaho53]

Morning, just wanted to share a recent group I shot out of my 7mm Rem Mag. It's 700 action with with a Pac-Nor 24" tube. Best 100 yard group I ever shot. Wanted to see if it would maintain this accuracy out to 500+ and it's shooting this load at 1/2 MOA out to 500 yards and beyond. This is what makes up for all of the other times our loads don't meet the expectation we have.

Definitely have the accuracy one would want. When you get a chance, give us a picture of your rifle so everyone can dream a little. The 7RM is certainly one of my favourite firearms.

Holy smokes, that's a keeper.
Nice work

There’s a lot of love for the 7mm Rem Mag here and with good reason! That 162 ELDX seems to be an easy bullet to get to shoot well in my experience! Nice work!

 

[DrMike]

Handsome piece. I should imagine that about anyone would be proud to tote that to the range.

 

[NYDAN]

Wow! What a great group. Nice looking rifle. It sure is a keeper. I hope you frame that group and hang it on the wall in your reloading area.

 

[RL338]

Looks like you’ve done your homework on that load Curious on the velocity.

Shooting this bullet at 3000 fps...verified with chronograph and actual bullet drop out to 1200 yards. Hitting steel at this distance is very addicting.

Steel target is 18"x24"

Well done.

Nice! Seems you have a shooter on your hands! Good shooting!

Great group! I'm a fan of the 7mm Remington Magnum.

Shot this one with my son's Bergara, using 150 grain Hornady ELD-X bullets & IMR 8133 powder:

Nice groups guys! Those will do!

I found my 7mm Rem Mag (Rem 700 LSS) to be very accurate when I had it, with factory ammo (Federal Premium 165 gr SGK). It shot .45" and .63" groups right out of the box while zeroing the scope (Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40), within the first 10 rounds.
Never got around to handloading for it, as I sold it 2 years later in an effort to get the new LH version of the same rifle.

Smallest group I have ever shot with a centerfire cartridge/rifle was a .190" group with a WIn Model 70 XTR in 270 Wby, with a 90 gr Sierra HP handload.

My 7MM STW (Custom LH Sako AV) is also very accurate; it has produced a 1" group at 300 yards with Federal Premium 160 gr AB ammo, and 3" groups @ 400 yards with the Federal Premium 160 gr SGK.
And my 280 Rem (LH Rem 700 XCR) will also shoot 1/2" groups with Federal Premium 140 gr AB. Looking forward to developing a handload with the 150 gr AB, which I now have on hand!

Love the 7mm's!

Welcome to the group. There are some great people here.
Great shooting with a solid load. Your rifle is definitely a shooter.

 

[ShadeTree]

Yes sir that will work for sure. Good shooting and good reloading!

 

[flyingagg]

Impressive!

My experience is limited, but with my 7mmRM I get spin drift starting around 500 yards. Then it depends on my bullet as to how large a group I have at 600+ yards. But up to 400 yards my MOA measurement is consistent from 100 yards.

Guy I think you have to show idaho53 and your Son what a Winchester Model 70 can do ! You and Galvin have your work cut out. I am thinking you will come up with a great load as well.

 

[TackDriver284]

Excellent shooting. That load is a keeper. It's ready to hunt.
