Great video, Great shooting. Would love to be able to stretch out that far but a .308 just wont do it.

We did it last Friday with a 18 inch barrel .308 at the 1012 yard spot. I would not say its supper accurate with old military ammo that he was shooting. I will be posting the video soon.

Any new load data for your 7mm WSM with Berger 180gr VLD?</div></div>
Nope. One of my buddies got a GAP 7wsm hunting rifle. I was doing load dvelopment for it. I tried some Retumbo. The problem was not getting the speed that I was getting with H1000, before the Retumbo load was too compressed. Did not spend a lot of time trying Retumbo, just went back to the H1000. Ended up using 65g H1000, Berger 180's, CCI-BR2 primers.
I have not changed my load at all. 65g H1000, 180's CCI-BR2 2975Fps shoots to good. I did try the 180 Hybrids with the same load. They where 1 1/2 MOA lower that 1012 yards then the 180 VLD's. Need to do more testing, but really don't want to.

Thanks for the reloading info, it is very helpful.

I'm getting a 7mm WSM built by RW Snyder gunsmithing with surgeon RSR action, 28" barrel with kreiger 1 in 8.5" twist, alpha mag.

I presume you are using winchester 7mm WSM brass and not up or downsizing from another caliber. Are you weight sorting and/or neck turning?

I'm planning to full length resize with Redding dies with the usual case prep (length trim, chamfer and deburr, uniform primer pocket and hole).

I like the 180 Berger as well.

Has anyone used the Matrix Ballistics 190grs VLD for 7mm WSM?

Thanks for any more suggestions.

Sweet video! Can't wait to see the next video...
I'm having an 18" 308 done by skunkworks now!

The 7mm WSM has a slightly longer body than the others, so it's not really feasible to "make" it from other brass. That's why some have made the 7mm-300 WSM wildcat, which has the same body as the other WSM rounds.

Am I mistaken, I thought you could make 7mm WSM from upsizing 270 WSM or downsizing 300 WSM.

Great shooting! Love the vid. Reminds me of home. I grew up in Spanish Fork, right around the corner from there.

Great vid and shooting. That bullet trace on film was neat.
