Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 7 WSM????

The only 7WSM ammo I have seen was Fed Blue and Red at Gander before the local store closed. I don't recall seeing it locally but we only have a few options, maybe three choices in town and one is Walmart.

Someone who "knows" as "much" as you,is going to be farrrrr better served by asking questions...rather than giving "answers". Hint.

Now as to Montucky 7 Whizzum's,I've only got a trio and reckon I should salt a few more away,if only for good measure. They've the RPM,throat geometry and COAL latitude,to connect all dots and are without doubt,the most Superb Killing Rifle ever offered over the counter and I've mused same more than a few times.(grin)



The Montucky Whizzum handle is rather adept in managing felt recoil and Sister has loved her's,since a pre-teen. I savvy the appeal.

Puked another set of LW's on one,not long ago and I think that's (8) sets that've puked on me...outta about 40 that were in service as mainstays. Though in fairness,this is the first puke,in that location and different from most other LW failures. Admittedly,said rifle is a Safe Queen.(grin)




Lapped Of Course...RINK

Just sayin'.



Swore off LW's all together and started tossing schit offa cliff.



I hear good thangs about 180 ELD's in same(2950fps),though the 162 'Max and 162 ELD's ain't no slouch(3125fps)...or so I've heard.



'Course I VERY much enjoyed your keen "understanding" of headspace,as you talk out your ass about the things furthest from your faculties...so PLEASE continue with your version of "knowledge","experience" and "results".

Hint.

Just sayin'.

Bless your heart.

Laffin'!

Wow +P+!

Chad, think of it this way. If you're familiar with Ackley Improved cartridges, they would not exist if there wasn't a safe way to blow out the shoulders of the parent case. With the AIs, the parent case headspaces on the shoulder where it joins the neck (assuming the chamber is cut right), and the cases don't stretch at the web when they're fired, they expand like a balloon. Same thing with a false shoulder, if it's done correctly the case headspaces on the false shoulder and it's blown out, not stretched.

I have a few hundred pieces of WW 7 WSM brass too but the quality is poor so based on Jordan's advice I formed a bunch from 300 WSM. It works well.

See
Rick still hasn’t locked all your accounts YET. LOL. PM me😉You poor booboo lipped NPGF.
300wsm Norma will due just fine.

Fathers, don't let your kids huff spray paint.

Well, it is in the truck.

Boxer, do you mind sharing at least your preferred powder for the 162 loads.

Jordan do you have any preferred loads for lighter bullets?

Thanks guys, you are all a bunch of enablers.

I’ve never seen a 7WSM, the 270 and 300 are great. The 7 should be too,

Does it have more get up and go than a 7 mag? It isn’t listed in my books.

R-26 is giving me 3170 with 162’s. The load is on alliant’s website. Work up to it because I got there a lot quicker than what their max showed.

R17 and 140’s is a good combo, and 7828ssc as well as R26 work really well with 162’s and 180’s.

I’m at 65 grains of rl26 and 180 eldm made it to 68but 65 shoots better.
Was at 68 grains of RL26 with the 162eldx. Rl26 is pretty good stuff in the 7wsm

I’m shooting 67gr R26 with the 180 ELD. Same with 7828ssc for nearly identical velocity- 2990 fps from a 26” barrel.

Happy bday Jordan. The 56 was 65 on the fly when I posted sorry.

Use any h1000??

I made it here and got to much pressure but load shot ok.

I just picked one up off gunbroker. Gonna get a 3-9 Super Chicken

Thanks, Fred!

Always had such good results with 7828ssc that I never bothered with H1000. Though with all the talk of R26, I couldn’t resist, and it does work well.

I ran 67gr of R26 with the 180 eld-m’s for 3050 fps in my 26” Ga Precision 7 WSM. I had 9 loads in my Brass when I sold the rifle to go lighter and primers still seated snug as they did as virgins. Admittedly that barrel done gap seems to run everything about 75-100 fps faster then boom. I miss that rifle but it was a pig.

Princess, how fast do the 25/284 spit 80’s??? If only for conversation.... just wondering...
