Has anybody used Lapua 7mm 170 gn lockbases? Any idea of the BC? And how did they perform? No info anywhere on these--I believe they are no longer made, and Lapua does not respond to emails. TIA.

If so, I have a deal for you. I have some really good 7mm Rem Mag 150gr Nosler BT professionally loaded by a guy out of San Antonio who owns Individual Reloading Services. I have about 20 rounds that I dont need anymore as I have sold the rifle that shoots it. I will ship it to you for just the...
what is the difference in those two .....besides powder capacity and the different length actions? Is the WSM supposed to be slightly more accurate or what.....seems like kinda splitting hairs. velocities are almost the same...more ammo choices with the full size cartridge. How about throat...

Starting to work on some loads for a 7mm Win Mag using 175gr SMK and was looking for a good place to start on how far off the lands to load.
The rifle:
Robar SR90
24" 1-9" twist
McM A3
Looked in the reloading depot and could not find many loads for 175 smk that gave distance off lands.
Thanks...
I just got 2 8mm mags and one needs a barrel so I'm going to build a 7mm STW. I want to get the most out of the cartrige. So can I get by with a 26" barrel or spend a little extra and get the 30"? It will be used for hunting and probablt wont shoot anything heavier than 140 grains. What would br...
Have the opportunity to purchase a Remington 700 KS mountain rifle in 7MM RUM that weights in at 6 LBS for less than $1,300. I usually shoot a 308 exclussively, am I right that this will kick like a mule on fire?
Could someone with some of the 7mm 180 jlk's (swampworks) measure a few of them from the ogive to the tip and reply. I'm about to order some of their 6.5 and 7 bullets, but need to know how much longer (ogive to tip) the 7mm 180 is vs. the 180 berger. I may not be able to magazine the jlk's. Thanks
Hey all,
Had some issues with 168 SMK's so trying to get them sorted out but I can't find any reloading data for a 175 SMK or the 180 Bergers.
I'm using H1000 and if anybody has some data and is willing to share thanks in advance
Any idea where I can find them in stock. I have checked Grafs, Midway, Midsouth, Natchez, and Cabelas with no luck. Any help greatly appreciated as I got a new Remington and need something to feed it! Thank you!

Do these really have a BC of .735? Sounds unreal!
Anyone have luck with these in a 7WSM? and how do they compare to Bergers 180 VLD?
