Hi all,
Wanted to take a couple minutes to introduce myself. My name is Isaac, I live in SE PA, and recently purchased a 110 FCP 300 Win Mag. Savage was the first rifle I owned (and still have that 93R17 FV) and have always been a fan of the value and accuracy the brand is known for.
I have a 26" CBI Varmint 7mm Rem Mag 1:8T on order, along with recoil lug and barrel nut, with James from NSS and looking forward to putting together my first rifle dedicated to longer range endeavors. Wanted to get an idea of what you guys are running in 7RM out of the 1:8T (Bullets, powder, etc). In my 9.5 twist barrels I generally run a 140 Berger VLD over RE22, I have a load that shoots great in every 9.5T barrel I have used it in, but looking for a little more info on what has worked for you guys. Looking at the 162, 168, 175, 180, and 195 offerings from Berger, Sierra, Nosler, and Hornday (VLD, MK, AB, ABLR, ELD, ELDX) and slower burning powers like H1000, just don't have much experience with them. I use Norma Brass or Winchester and typically a Fed 215M or CCI 250. Perhaps this is a discussion for a different part of the forum.
Will also have a new 300 WM 24" barrel for sale off the rifle I just purchased, it just hasn't been pulled yet, if anyone is interested let me know. Should be off and ready to ship by the end of July. I will put in the classifieds if it's not sold before.
I'm looking forward to discussing and learning from you all.
TGIF, enjoy your weekend if you don't hear from me sooner.
Regards,
Isaac
