If you run the 120 at the same pressure as the 140, you'll see a significant velocity gain. I figure. It just may be, in my case, that Wby loads the 140gr TTSX at higher pressure than it loads the 120gr TTSX for some reason.

I kinda considered that the issue with box length would be a self solving problem due to twist.
Oddly enough, just got a call from the dude who is building the rifle, and has the tube. We got to talking about other stuff, then I asked him about the barrel. He either told me wrong, or I heard wrong, months ago when we fist discussed it, but he assured me its a 9 twist. So it IS 9 twist? And free? Even better! You must be living right

They have been making Mark V 7mm Weatherby rifles with a 1-10 twist since the beginning of time Based on my experience, that is a mistake, unless my Mk V is an aberration. total agreement , I wish they would go at least 1-9 but like I said they are fixated on 1-10

![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/D0SNMTFJ/02-C40-CA7-7503-4461-8969-3-B2-BDB476-F74.jpg) Something like this lightweight 7WSM with Bansner stock and 1:9 twist? I went straight to force feeding it either 160g Nosler Accubond or the 165 Sierra GameChanger. Either I’m sure I can get to a minimum of .05 with fps in 3k with 69g of H1000 or Retumbo... I’d have to check but IIRC 69g was almost my max. I will look at my log info tomorrow for accuracy. Good Luck...It’s a cool lightweight rig once you figure out the bullet, powder and speed and you’ll enjoying putting some good sized furs in the dirt...😎

Grins 😎 I bought one today at the distant gunshop I visit, it is a NIB Howa 7wsm. 350 out the door , been sittting there for a while. What are the particulars on that build? I love that Bansner stock was wondering about the barrel.

1-10 twist????? Can you return it? They have been making Mark V 7mm Weatherby rifles with a 1-10 twist since the beginning of time In 1970s vintage M70 and a Savage M110 7 RM 1-10 twist the Winchester favored 160 gr and never liked 175 or 140 weights. The Savage shot all weights better than the Winchester and really liked the 175 weights. I believe nothing beats shooting to really know. I have a M700 in 300 WSM and the magazine is tight with factory ammo.

I’m loading ammo for mine right now.
Running 69.7g H-1000 under 160g Abonds. This showed the best group on paper.
Next weekend I will chrono an average of 5 shots for speed and be done until critter season.
