Thread: Keen to try a big 7mm

But before coughing up the readies, I’d be keen to take a few shots from one, as I don’t have much experience with cannons of this size. I’m keen to get a feel of the recoil and how difficult (or not) it is to spot my own shots due to hunting solo predominantly. Is there anyone localish to me that would be happy to let me have a go on their long range 7mm? Happy to travel a few hours, and compensate for time and consumables. Having a crack at a gong or two would be ideal!

Remember that it's the bullet that does the work, not the headstamp.

If someone loaded the 280AI with 180 ELDM's I suspect they would have a nice surprise.
