    Probably not as the Practical is made from the 300 win mag with an improved shoulder angle. Probably 10gr difference

    sorry for the slow reply guys. Cheers for the info greg etc. It is a brand new build by abe, 24 inch bartlein,kiwi stock, hardy action, elite trigger, braked with a 2-20 zeiss. I chose it because of its light weight etc for on the hills. and he has given me a few different recipies to try and what not. haha he is reasonably hard to track down at times. Currently using 96grns of us869. Thought it would be worth while asking on here for different brews, what works for others that run a screamer/fatmax. cheers

    Pongo12,
    That rifle sounds like a nice build, US869 is good powder in the 7mmRUM that was Stugs I am getting 3250 @ 25degrees with the 180s but get velocity changes of about 100fps when the temp go down to 10degrees so come winter/first frosts it may be worth checking that out, just a thought(good excuse for more shooting).
    The 180 VLDs that you are using are they the hunting ones? And what distance are you getting those bang flop results to?
    Anyway good luck and enjoy.

    mine seem to sit around the 3100/3200 mark and yes they are the hunting vlds. I will carry on with these until i get my hands on the 195's. i have shot a few tahr from 40 to 600 meters dropping the buggers easy enough. have shot a few deer in the last few weeks and have had no runners either, so happy with them. The 162 amaxs i found very good killers also.

    Cheers Pongo12
    Yes 195's look good if I can get some I might try them but the 1 in 9" twist rate that I have on the RUM you seemingly get marginal stability so it effects the BC, still bugger it an excuse fluff around and make some noise.
    The 162 Amax looks good, really like the 140gr in the 6.5/.284 emphatic killers, I settled on the 162sst in the 7mm for shorter stuff.
    Hopefully someone will chime in with some recipes for your screamer.

    I had a similar rifle by the sounds of it it was a nz hunter built 7mm super fatso it was using 180gr bergers and they were going at about 3300fps . I can't be of much help with load data tho cause they loaded them for me .

    I want to hear more from Tussock... Please ;-)

    I can just imagine what Geoff Thomas would say on Gone Fishing with Geoff and his mate Geoff...

    'I'm here today with a good mate (let's just say) Greg and his 7mm BBPBB (Big Bad Powder & Barrel Burner), this rifle has been made by necking down a WW2 mortar shell to 7mm, it's essentially a .243 on steroids. Whilst is does use quite a bit of powder and kills anyone who fires it, the lads have bet me I can't hit the 50 yard two meter square gong. We'll see about that boys...'
