G'Day Fella's,

I agree with you blokes, the 7mm Rem Mag, ain't that much better than a .270 Win, especially with lighter bullets.

I do own a M70 Classic (Stainless, All-Terrain) model, in 7mm RM with a 24" barrel.
I have only ever loaded it, with lighter 120grn bullets (Nosler B-Tips & Barnes X, both Moly coated), at a Maximum Safe Working Load (MSWL) of 3340fps.

As an example, I also own a Rem M600/Mohawk, in .308 Win with a 20" barrel.
I can get 3025fps out of it, with 125 grn B-Tips, so it is only 315 fps behind the 7mm RM, with 20 grains less powder.
At 200 to 300 meters, there would bugger all difference, especially to any animal, that you shot with either.

This 7mm RM's saving grace is, it will shoot 1/2" to 5/8", 3 shot groups, at 100 meters ...... so I do like it. I do wonder, how much of an increase in fps it would have, if it had a 26" barrel ...... but it doesn't, so.

D'oh!
Homer
