I got my first 7mmRM in 2005, a used 1977 Ruger #1, I am 69 years old. I killed (3) mule deer in 2011

I had been hunting with a pre 64 M70 Win 270, but the 7mmRM could hit the 10" circle every time at 500 yards and the 270 was only sure in my hands to 400 yards.

I built a 7mmRM with a VZ24 Mauser. I got (1) mule deer and (1) antelope in 2012

I built a 7mmRM with a 1963 Rem700 action. I got (1) mule deer in 2014

I bought a 1994 factory Browning 1885 7mmRM I got (1) mule deer and (1) antelope in 2015

I built another Rem700 7mmRM. I got (3) mule deer and (1) white tail deer in 2017... that little WT doe was a 630 yards [tiny target]

I have also built a Mosin Nagant 7mmRM and never shot anything but targets with it.
I have also built (2) 1908 Braz Mausers 7mmRM and never shot anything but targets with them.

I also have Winchester, Savage, and Remington 7mmRM factory rifles I have not shot, but might rebarrel.

I have(2) 7mmRM reamers and (1) 7mm throater.
I have (11) 7mmRM dies. You know you are a nerd when you have all dies on a spreadsheet.


My brother is 62 and has shot deer, antelope, and elk with his factory stock Rem 700 7mmRM.
