Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting How come the 7 m/m

I run a 280AI and it does fine out to the ranges you want and likely farther . I feed it 162 ELDX’s atop of full charges of 19, 22 or 26. Shoots them all equally welll. I went 280AI because I was sitting on a 30-‘06 donar and about 800 ct of 06 brass. So, it made sense for me. I may give 175ELDX’s a try but the 162’s do all I want or need. If I were to start from scratch I would likely do a 7RM properly throated,twisted and with a magazine box set up to run 180 grain class bullets. The 7RM case to me is about ideal case capacity for 160-180 grain 7mm bullets. The AI is almost but not quite. It will do for me for now though. JMO.
