Recently a fellow on the fire suggested that I try Retumbo with Fed 215's with the 162g A Max and glory be, shot three shots in a single hole at 3100 fps, Rem 700 sporter-26" stainless barrel. He said that customs got 3200 fps with a tighter chamber.
I use vias muzzle breaks on my 7's and see the bullet impact on the deer's hide...recoil less than a 243 sporter.
Thank you!
@ keith: What was the exactly charge of Retumbo with the A-Max?
A friend of mine playing in the F-Class team has a new project with the 7 mm SAUM running. He offered me some of his 7 mm A-Max bullets for testing in my new 7 mm Remmy Demmy.
How do they perform on deer or are they just reserved for paper punching?
