This is a good read and base line for the chambering.

7mm Practical.

The 7mm Ultra is still a great chambering, I have crushed some bears with it and the 160gr Accubond. Killed a bunch of Rockchucks with the Accubonds.

Traded the rifle off and now a friends 16 year old son carries it.

Can you tell this pic was taken on the wet side. :chuckle:

I had a great! Black Tail walk right by me that afternoon, this was after he passed me. He was at point blank , he didn't notice me until I took this pic and then he didn't even care. If it had been twenty days later, he would have got smoked HARD! :tup:

To finish it, the wait is going to be on McMillan. I ordered the  Adj A3-5 stock 5/1/13 and they are running a ways out. Sometimes they get a few out early.

I'm interested to see how this works out for you. I have the bug for a 7mm, but I can't decide which one. I've been leaning towards either the 7/375 Ruger or the 7mm LRM.


I been working on a wildcat myself -  the .17/50BMG




If I can chamber this in a 19" handgun barrel then I'm in! :tup:

I looked at the 7mm LRM, but chose to go the direction I did because I have piles of Norma, Lapua, Winchester and Federal .300 Win Mag brass I have stored away from all the .300's I have shot over the years. Call me sick but when it comes to magnum wildcats, I like the head spacing of the belt thing. :tup:

Good little long range varmint cartridge.  I can go prairie dog hunting in South Dakota without leaving Washington.  Velocities are showing up in the Mach 7-8 range.  Takes a really slow powder, though.  Right now I'm using ground up Kingsford Briquettes, but am probably going to work up a load using straight anthracite soon.

 :chuckle:
I bet that will be a barrel burner with the throat erosion.  At least you'll now have a portable, back country plasma cutter.
