Superior 7MM?

[std7mag]

@DamascusSteel,

Superior in what way?
Hunting rifle?
Realistic distances?

As for the "heavy for caliber bullets", are you shooting 1,000 yard Benchrest?
Or 24X24 plate at 3 miles?
Really the only place that you need "heavy for caliber".

Elk at 1,000+ yards? The GunWerks guys have been doing that with the 7mm Rem Mag and 168gr Berger VLD for years.

I have/shoot/hunt with 7mm-08AI, 280 Rem, 284 Win, 7mm Rem Mag and 7mm WBY Mag.

I really don't feel undergunned with the 7mm-08AI and a 140gr Ballistic Tip. If it makes you feel better, go with an Accubond or Partition.

My Weatherby is a Mark V Weathermark LT. Light weight. Shoots well. Even with the 1:10 twist, I haven't had any issues shooting the 175gr ABLR out to 800 yards.

But normally 168gr is the heaviest that I go.

Heavy for caliber has been a great sales hook. mtmuley

If you don't want to play with the Big Dogs. [ 7 Rum or 28 Nos ]
Then get ya a 7-08 and color it Pink.


Just kidding a 7-08 is a great cartridge.

Those are very good points, but a hunting rig is what im going for. I really only practice out to 500 these days, thats what my local range goes to.

Sir.. everyone knows the 7rm is the greatest of the 7’s.

You must be hanging around my Dad.

If I ever add a belted 7mm to my lineup, it would be a 7mm Mashburn Super.

Fixed it for you

I've actually thought about the Mashburn, but I'd probably not go the custom route and just buy a factory rifle. If the WBY, it would probably be a God awful Crown Custom or the like.
