What 7mm 160 has a BC of .283?

Do me a favor and run the actual numbers to 500-600 yards for each will you?Show e what bullet you're using and give me names not acronyms.Have no idea what the hell you're talking about. confused

I want to see what constitutes "running circles around the 7 RM" and you're moving around here to there with an extinct powder, pressures signs and a 30" barrel to get more velocity than any 264 Win Mag on the planet (I have never seen anyone hunting with a 30" barrel......anywhere) and 7mm bullets with a BC of .283 vs a BC of .509.

GHC no wonder the 7 Rem Mag killed the 264....the hunters grabbed the 7mm and the number crunchers clung to the 264. smile

The 160gr round nose bullet is the 6.5 Hornady RN bullet I was showing that the barrel does not make much difference and I do hunt with the 30" barrel. I am going to be 70 this fall and am 6'2" at 215 lbs. and can still pack a 12.5 lb. rifle where ever I choose to go. It is not a brush gun as I have a DPMS 338 Federal for the brush. I started hunting with the 264 in 1963 and it still is my favorite gun. I have hunted with a 7mm rem mag and do not like it. It collects a lot of dust. Here is the 500 yard numbers. Zero is 350 yards with +5.4" at mid range and -16.9 inches at 500 yards at 2368fps and 1992 ft. lbs. of energy at 500 yards with the 160gr PPSN. If I load the 160gr matrix bullet with a BC of 0.685 these numbers get better at 3261fps. With 350 yards as zero mid range is +3.3 inches and -2.9 inches with 2581fps and 2366 ft. lbs of energy at 500 yards
