I loaded some this week. In the rifle I was loading for, they have to be loaded so deep that they get beyond the bearing surface in the case neck. Accuracy was poor at that much jump. Decided to stick with the 180s for now. I think they might be good for a 7 WSM with a 8.5 twist.

The 195 Bergers held up really well at 3300 fps from 8 twist barrels so far but now it's time to see if they are up to the task of staying together at 3500 fps out of a 30" 7 twist barrel ..... ]photobucket[/url] Tell me more about the 7mm Slayer...

Here's a new toy I put together specifically for this bullet. Rob McLeod installed the barrel for me, and did a great job. Trued Rem 700 L/A with raceways machined for oversized PTG bolt Holland HD recoil lug PTG 1-piece spiral fluted bolt w/Sako extractor (Soon to be) Gretan fluted steel FP assy XLR Chassis Magpul CTR buttstock Krieger SS #4.5, 8" twist 4-groove barrel at 26" AICS .338 Lapua 5-shot mag Timney trigger EGW HD 20MOA rail, Burris Sig Zee High rings SWFA SS 10x42 MQ First group of 4 shots after bore sighting and finding pressure ran right around 0.8 MOA. Got a few loaded up to dial in seating depth, and we'll be there. Cherry popped on this last-day buck... Rattled in to 100 yards, broadside shot, through both shoulders, 195 Berger Hybrid at MV of 2850 fps, ran 40 yards and collapsed. Not a single drop of blood. Bullet left the signature Berger pinhole entrance, penetrated both shoulders, destroyed lungs, bounced off offside hide and was found in offside shoulder. Will weigh remaining bullet weight in the morning after I clean it up. And some empirical data for those interested...

That initial group was shot with 64.5gr and a kiss, as an arbitrary starting point. Going to test seating depth over 65gr as soon as the Gretan pin assy arrives. Starting jammed 0.015" and going deeper in 0.025" increments to see what's up. Started to get some pressure signs at 67, so I'll be happy with 65.

Cool rifle Jordan and congrats on the buck.
Do you have a picture of the recovered bullet? I'm surprised that it didn't exit at that impact velocity.

It's a lot of bullet for a whitey to eat, for sure!

Just to let you know, you shot a short range AUDETTE, used a load in the node, and then continued to ROCK. You abandoned the midget dickhead method Whether you'll admit it or not.... LOL

Rick, Yes, I realize I try not to be biased, and gun an open mind, so thought I'd rock a ladder on this one. It'll get me to the same place. Whatever works- hits speak louder than words. Though you could also say I "kissed, found pressure, and rocked on"
