Off the couch post. LOL. IMO this rifle out-shot me yesterday, as the wind increased it got better. Adjusted scope throughout so can't make a composite.... Looks promising and love the fit and function. 67.0 RL-26, just over 2900fps seems to be a sweet spot. Just going to retry the 67.0 with .030" (BTO 2.697") jump next time and see what happens. 67.5 is a bit warm - maybe. Appreciate all the posters on this thread. ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.cc/jcrwmmvap/IMG_20180804_204910854_LL.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.cc/rv1cqyu3l/IMG_20180804_204951889_LL.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.cc/venagsjyp/IMG_20180804_204958142_LL.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.cc/3ral2p6ht/IMG_20180804_205002196_LL.png)

What brass are you using MntBoomer and how long is your barrel? I am settled on 3080 with 180 ELDM in my 27" 7 WSM with 67.5 grains of RL-26. I went higher but I want to be nice to my Bertram brass.  Tried this load (4 shots): ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Wo6oyLn.jpg) Went back inside and loaded up 4 more to make sure it wasn't a fluke: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/hNkRHtu.jpg) Good enough for me.

Looking great! I hope I can do my part and get them stacked up like that too.
I have 300 Hornady brass for this rifle and have found it to be very consistent. I prepped the hell out of it, loaded rounds have .001"-.0015" runout. No rejects or flaws out of the first hundred pieces.
26" barrel here. I'll get more velocity notes eventually.

My 7WSM sent a 180 ELD through this bull moose at 30 meters on the weekend. 2965 fps launch. Bullet entered brisket on a frontal shot, demolished lungs, shed a little weight which was found as shrapnel, and exited rear of offside ribcage, for about 3-3.5’ of penetration. I'm impressed. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1943/45085583651_2ef7be48be_b.jpg)

That’s pretty impressive and a great bull! I assume you meant 3-3.5ft not inches of penetration.

Jordan ,
Morning !
Great moose and another great test of the bullet .
I won't worry much about a steep angle shot on a feral hog when it cools off .
How big was the exit wound ?

Wow, congrats on a fine bull. I have seen good results with the 143 and 147 grain ELD bullets in 6.5 as well.

Nice moose! That's a bucket list hunt for me. Performance of the 180ELD's is rather impressive, starting to make me want a 7mm WSM.

That's awesome Jordan. Congrats.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
