Had a drop chat made up for me using 165grn sako ammo, I chronod the ammo and had a mate do the drop chart. Wondering how this compares to some one running the same set up.Attachment 175769
What i have written in is number of clicks by multiply m.o.a by 4 . Scope is vx3 4.5x14 1/4 moa Adjustment.
Cheers
How far are you planning on shooting your subs?

@Gerado I'm not running subs, running sako game head pro 165gr . But 90% of my shooting will be inside of 350m , planning on validating this data when the chance arises. Only planning on shooting paper out past 350 untill i get confident at those ranges. Cheers
My mistake.

21” suppressed Tikka RM. 162 ELD-X reloads.
@stagstalker that's a massive difference, once I've collected enough brass reloading looks the way to go
Yep my rem mag was 23moa to 1000mtrs from memory amax and eldx
Bit less I no I had to take the zero stop out of my old hd5 so that must have maxed at 17 18ish moa
Just had a look at my drop chart using same ammo t3 x 22inch barrel and virtually same , that's in meters also
😂
@Matt.L What did the ammo chrony at?
Also running at dpt suppressor, chrono was about 1.5 meters Infrount of barrel
Weight and bc explains it I'd say you probably pretty close with that chart mate if not bang on
@Matt.L I have not long gone through the same process with the same round.
We averaged 2805 with a Tikka 24" barrel dpt. The chrony used was no cheapo type so figures are reliable.
But i am zeroed in for 200 and also using yards
Have shot out to 500 so far and have been happy. One thing i have found and again with the last animal a big red hind the projectile went through both front shoulders leaving a inch exit hole
Mine running a 162g Amax, suppressed 26” barrel.

@bigbear unsure of the brand of chrony i used, but 53 fps difference between our two results with the same set up seems ok ( to me anyway.) I've only shot on paper so far and been very happy with it so far. That is very pleasing to hear.
Mate personally I’d be taking full advantage of the benefits in having a magnum caliber.
Compare your chart with mine above and you’ll see what I mean.
Using this factory ammo will get you much closer. Something to think about down the track.

Cheers @Tui4Me that is definitely something to think about, will definitely consider it when I run out of the sako ammo
And what powder? Iv personally only seen RM speeds like that once and we actually.exceeded that to my surprise but intrested in the combo?Quote:

73g of 2225.Quote:

I still didn’t get pressure signs at 3200fps but it scared me to be honest and also my drop chart was no longer working so I backed it off
The 26” Bartlein barrel has now settled at 3150fps.
Because of dial up scopesQuote:

I wouldn't compare with that you have the fastest safe rem mag in existenceQuote:

Yep, a hot 7mm RM using 162g projectiles is actually very hard to beat.Quote:

Very easily beaten with a blaser mag for less powder or a LRM and still hold barrel life befor going 28N
Attachment 175901 tikka t3, factory superformance 154sst chronyed at the box pf 3100 surprisingly.
Or try some other factory ammunition 1st if you don't have or have access to reloading equipment. Sako 7mm Rem Mag is about the most pedestrian factory ammo aroundQuote:
