Re-reading this thread has me hankering to start trying some more loads in my 7600 carbine and bump this back up for the pump gun fans out there. I have been picking up good to smokin deals on bullets as they emerge and have a fairly decent selection of fodder to try reloading:
Sierra 125 FP/HP (30-30) Barnes 130 TTSX Hornady 130 Spire Point (pistol) Speer 130 HP Speer 130 FP Barnes 150 FP/HP TSX (30-30) Speer 165 SP Speer 180 SP Sierra 220 RN
I still have several boxes/types of factory loaded stiff to play with but just havn't taken the time.
Rem Accelerator Rem 125 gr Rem 150 Win 150 Hornady 165gr Light Mag Win 180 Fail safe
The loaded ammo was purchased a couple years back and was very nicely prices so I won't feel too bad if it isn't great in the 7600 as I have 2 30-06 bolt guns it can be tried in. I'd like to hear more from others ammo/load experiences, especially in 30-06 carbines.
Anybody else been developing loads for the 7600 lately? Remington has made another run of the Maple stocked rifles in a bunch of cool calibers for Grices I think it was (could be wrong on that one) and some of the lumber is really fine looking. It has seemed to bring the market for the "collectable" 7600's down with some market saturation.
Any updates on mods for availability of a enlarged mag and slide release button's? Someone's rifle shown here had a bigger safety rebutton that seemed like a good idea. it was larger on the right side to offer greater purchase for the release of the safety to the fire position. With gloves on, it makes sense to me for one. I'd love to smooth out the trigger but ain't willing to try it my self. Any good leads on the trigger jobs?
Lot's of great info in this thread and I am pleased I found a decent deal on mine. A very good woods rifle with better than expected accuracy. I may go visit a friend back in Pa this summer and do some scouting for next deer season. I will likely take the 7600 and pop some 'chucks while I am there.
