I think that's pretty close to reality.

I'd finish it as follows:
7-08=2,700 FPS
7-08AI=2,800 FPS
280=2,800 FPS
280AI=2,900FPS
7RM=3,000 FPS
7Mash=3,100 FPS
7STW=3,200 FPS

Basically 100 FPS steps.

It seems that to some the step from 2,800-2,900 is inconsequential, while the step from 3,000-3,100 is worth forming cases.

Just wonder why?


WailingAway:

Wrong. The Mashburn will move a 160-162 at 3200-3250. Ask anyone who has one.3100 is about right for a 175...give or take a few fps. We have three that do it routinely. BTW they all have 24" barrels. We throw cases out when they get too ratty. Beretz has another.Docbill on her also has one......I could go on and on....and on.

Besides HTF would you even know since you've never loaded for one? Or a 7 STW either? smirk

I have never seen so much wild ass "guessing" in my life.

In answer to post above, i could answer it all but it would mostly be over your head. You "read" about stuff instead of loading and shooting.You really need to shoot an load more and read less.

You and your 280AI remind me of the guy who buys a red Corvette in hopes it will help him get laid more often.

BTW, Dober is breaking in a new Mashburn barrel. He wanted me to tell you that his FF load is doing 3160 with a 139 gr ....we both thought..."Sure seems like a 280AI to me!"

If you can't get a 7-8 pound rifle up a mountain that's your problem, not mine.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
