Heavy Seven

[Cuando]

Getting the urge to launch some 180's or better.

.280AI, 7 SAUM or ????

Proof pre fit Tikka in 7 mag could be cool.

I'm going straight 280.

Lapooey brass('06),drive a false shoulder for positive initial headspace,size in accordance for Round Two,trim the Lot square and never trim again. 700 Donor,Bart 8.7" MTU at 23",HEAVY solid filled A5,S/S Matt BDL bottom,Marty 45MOA extended 1913 and Bushy 3-12x LRTSi.

It will eat only 180's and stay Supersonic to 1700yds+ in all weathers.........................

Tikka don't have the COAL in an '06 hull.

Hard to beat the 7-375 Ruger or as we like to call it the 7JBT for launching a 180 and now with 300 PRC brass available it makes forming cases that much easier, rman has pushed 180 over 3300fps with it and it anchors elk and the like with unbelievable authority. Loaded at a more modest 3150fps it's very nice to shoot and has strangely low recoil.

Sounds like a fun way to roll.

What are guys doing for dies?

 

[Oatmealsavage82]

C and H made all the dies.

Skip the Proof....

7 SAUM set up rightly is still a good jam IMO. Having it in ADG brass is all the more reason.

Yep...I'd ShamWow or Whizzum and cut to the chase.

The new A-Tips just might be sumptin',in 224,243 and 284..................
