New Nosler 7mm 160 BT

preacher · Oct 10, 2021

I figure these were made for the 28 Nosler, but wonder if they are soft enough for the 7x57/7mm08? Anyone have any idea? I'm talking about starting out at MV of 2600 or so.

I would really like to give these a try in my 275 rigby/ 7x57. 160 grain seems to be my favorite weight in this rifle.

I grabbed a few bags from SPS for the 280 AI. I already have a load for the 160 AB so that was my starting point.
First 3 shots went into the same hole at 100 yards. I put 5 into the 250 yard gong and I was stacking them.
Load development is done I also shot a couple into the water jugs and recovered them in #5. They both weighed 101 grs.
I plan on using them on deer this fall.

That’s the kind of load development I like [emoji16]

Man, you can't ask for more than that!

How many you have Jim? I wouldn't mind giving them a shot in my little 7 WSM...
