Mostly I have worked with custom 24" barrels but have come to think of "standard"
7 Rem Mag velocities as being 3050 with 160,3150 with 150,and 3200-3250 with 140.Seems about 100 fps spread between each jump in bullet weight,subject to a million variables. smile


With a starting load?

Mathman,
He did not go above that load.

MM: No not a starting load.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Anyone here shoot the Barnes 168 LRX? They say to use with a 1/9 twist. I have a 1/9.5 twist.

Was wondering if it would work??

Depends on the elevation and temperature.
