Around the 2900 fps mark with 150s out of a 20 inch barrel should be about right. The MV isn't really the issue as I have had the caliber before. Mostly I'm after anyone that has input as whether its...

Yes you are right about that but the mag length is better than a Model 7. I would be running 140s and possibly the excellent Sierra 150s I have no need for anything heavier with my type of shooting....

Greetings from sunny Wellington.

As per the title, does anyone have any information or insight as to the possibility of converting a short action X-bolt from 7mm08 to 284 Winchester. I had a 284...

I gave the 7mm 160 ELD-x in a Rem Mag a reasonable go. If you look up my posts you will find what I thought of them. Since then I have gone to the old boring 150 gr Sierra sp Game King and I am...

I got .65 with 162gr ELDX precision hunter and .85 with 154gr interlock white tail. Both at 100 and both were hitting the gong pretty hard at 400.

I have one of the new models an LTZ, just over a year old.
Goes extremely well especially when you think that its only a 2.8 litre four cylinder. Heaviest Ive towed is a 2.7 tonne digger + trailer...

21.5 inch factory precision hunter at a guess 2850 fps. Mildish load 2213sc load for the 150s chronied at 2888 fps. 154 interlock doing 2915 fps. Nothing over hot and still playing with it a bit but...

Just to add to my posts above. Out of the six animals Ive shot with the 162 ELDX four were not what I would call convincing, to be fair two were very convincing. The animals died alright and that is...

I have an old friend that did a few seasons as a culler for the NZFS and when the new super 222 calibre came on the scene he was right into it. Long story short he struggled through one season and...

Thanks to everybody for their input.

After reading your posts and a long utube and forum session Ive ordered a 1x8x24 Strike Eagle (why do they have such weird names?) and vortex 30mm mount. Ill...

Totally agree.

The exit, no exit thing is quite contentious. Im a bit of a fan of the bullet staying in the animal side of things and dumping all of its energy. Ive mostly done bush hunting and...

Hello chaps

After some advice from the group. I have a pig problem. I also have an Aero Precision AR that I fix that problem with. What I need is advice as to an illuminated AR type scope....

Flyblown, totally understand what your saying and agree to a point. I would have taken the brisket shot if it was available but the animals head was drooping as he was all but asleep and that shot...

Just to add to the above post for those that are interested.

Ive shot two deer this week. One with a 162 ELD-X and one with a 154 Interlock, both out of a 21.5 inch 7mm Rem Mag.

1. 162 gr...

I've shot a reasonable amount of cattle both wild and domestic. The wild ones were bush animals and generally under 100 yards. All of the wild cattle were taken with Hornady 174 gr round nose...

As has been said anyone can post what they like regarding numbers and distances of deer shot. Speaking for myself I stopped counting when I was 20 and dont tend to shoot past 400. I have used the 162...

Its just an extension of your golf slice. So id turn a bit to the right.

Thanks for the input everyone.
I picked up a 3x12x42 HP and am pretty happy with the glass, not on a rifle yet but will post how she goes.

Cheers

Thanks Double Shot. Any issues with low light shooting or tracking with the HP?

Thanks for that but looking for something with smaller sticky out bits.

Hello chaps.

Looking for advice as to a scope for out to 500 and into 30 odd yards on a 7mm Rem Mag. I have an old Swift but have the urge for something shinaay.
Anyone have experience with the...

Thanks very much for the input lads.

I think I will go the 7mm Rem Mag route. Any one have pet loads for 20 inch Rem? Whats the concensus for the best pill from 30 to 500, We do ask alot of a bit...

Hello chaps

Some input from those in the know would be appreciated. I am in the market for a rifle for Reds out to 500 or so yards using 162 to 168s. I will most likely go to a T3X. I was going to...

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

Happy new year and all that.

Does anyone have first hand knowledge that AR2213sc and H4831sc are the same powder. For example has anyone used the same loads in the same caliber and components...
