"Short" ELR caliber choice

[Raufoss]

Alright I’d like to know get you guys opinion on a 2km ELR ish caliber. That the max range I’ll be using it.

fire it up and let me know why that’s would be your choice.

 

[Rocketmandb]

I've taken my 300 PRC to just under 2km (2k+ yards) and it performs pretty well. It's a reasonably cost-efficient round to shoot and build/buy a rifle for. Good set of bullet choices too.

7mm Midget stripper magnum
Aka 7mm mini me magnum
Aka 7SAUM

I’ve had good results well past 2K with it.

@Steel head you need to start trimming meplats and re-tipping And I know a few other ways for me to spend your money...heh

 

[Raufoss]

7 Saum is on my list I’m just wondering if I’d truly benefit in a long action caliber if I don’t go past 2K?

Well I just single load 190 in a short action and mag feed 168’s for closer targets.
I was really impressed with its performance out to 2600-2700 yards, after that spotting certainly gets difficult.

 

[Raufoss]

I’d run the 190’s Atip

 

[Steel head]

Some R26 or N565 and a 28-30” tube and your GTG.
My third 7SAUM barrel is on the way here, it really is a pretty cool cartridge.

 

[Raufoss]

In a 30" tube with 190’s what speed should I expect?

 

[Steel head]

2900 ish easily.

What’s the parent case? Where can I get more details ?

 

[Slides]

F-open target shooting in Australia is basically 7SAUM class, there probably isn't anything close in a short that is worth considering.

my 300 LRC is a modification of my 300 Alaskan Short Mag wildcat, it's a 338 Lapua case chopped to less than 2", also use 300 & 338 Norma Mag, 423 Dakota brass and have factory made headstamped brass by RCC, 300 LRC reamers are available in two versions , one is for short actions with a 308 Win match throat and the other is for long actions with a long throat that has shown extreme velocity & accuracy with heavy for caliber bullets seated way out in my 300 Long Range Hunter (300 LRH) ..... the 300 LRC is shown here with my 300 LRH from 2014/15 , my version of a 300 Norma Mag Improved (and wow ! there are so many imitations now... that I've completely lost interest in the Normas ) and the 300 Werewolf... now redesigned & renamed to 300 Wolverine , due to conflicts with an older "300 Warewolf" wildcat , basicaly 308-500 Jeffery Improved that I did back in 2013, has 142 gr h20 capacity and has big brothers in 338 & 375 cal

I used the 300 LRC and a Badlands SBD2 205 gr bullet on a moose from the first batch of 100 pcs, that they made for me this past September

fantastic hunting bullet at 300 WBY velocities from a case less than 2" in min trim length

personal project that has been in the works on & off since 2011-12 with a number of chamber/reamer modifications to this final form

@Swamplord
A few questions for you

how do you choose a new shoulder angle?

do you have velocity or pressure data on your current creations with RCC brass?

thanks
