Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 7MM 130 gr XBT might just work in the STW

I am still experimenting with the Hick's Accurizer on my #1, but I shot the 130 XBT for the first time this afternoon. I have not Chrony'ed it yet, but according to the Sierra Manual, this load of H 4831 should give 3400 fps. My rifle is usually 100 fps slow.

This combination just might make a decent deer load, if I can get the flyers tuned out with the Hicks.

You might try the tsx, less foul, and it should give you an extra 75 fps or so. I shoot the 140's outta my 7 whizum and am getting close to 3350 fps.

I shot a deer with that load once facing me at 60 yds. It went in the forehead, down the neck and exited beside the tail....Talk about penetration.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
