Another question does the seven saum shoot a heavier bullet well or is it a better lite bullet or target caliber?


It's the stupid 1:10" twist that Wby put on them that is the problem. I have a MkV 7mm Wby. It shoots 160gr Barnes well, but I shot a bunch of Federal-loaded 160gr copper tipped bullets out of it, and, at 100 yds, they all were making oval holes in the target.
