    They are good alright VTF,

    They often like the "go to" accuracy load for the Rem Mag/A-Max combo which is..

    162 A-Max
    72g of ADI 2217 powder
    Federal 215 primer
    A Cartridge over all length of 3.345 inches to fit the magazine.

    This combo gives 3030 - 3050 fps in long throated rifles like Tikkas and Sakos, and stunning accuracy.

    As at last week Beretta was out of Tikkas in 7mm rem mag and Gun ity had sold out, Dave Craft at 'Craftys Rods N Guns' in Hastings has what could be the last one in NZ at the moment ($1200).

    Id say, if you can only have one rifle/caliber combination (for deer) to chose from then make it a T3 or Finnlight in 7mm Rem Mag. Load it down for softer recoil or tune it up for LR.


    PS. Im a little reticent to add a disclaimer here for Blaser owners in their blazers.
    DAF, Tahr and distant stalker like this.
