Thread: Alpine Rifle - Factory Ammo

Hi all, just thought I’d put up what I ended up doing if someone is searching the forum with this same query and looking for more data or wondered what happened

I decided that the cheapest/easiest option would be to cut down my 7mm rem mag as many suggested.

Took it to Mountain Precision in Queenstown and Dan cut it to 22 inches, put a few different brands of factory ammo through it and chronographed them to see which it shot best and sighted it in. Extremely happy with the service.

162gr Precision Hunter ended up being the most consistent with average velocity of 2867.

Would highly recommend the service he provided for anyone looking to do similar with factory ammo and want to know what shoots best without having to go out and buy different boxes of ammo to find out. And you get the exact velocity to calculate drop charts too as opposed to guessing.
