The long range cold bore shot project

[actionshooter]

Damn JLR,  I'm going to take you up on those lessons after hunting season is over.

Awesome shooting guys!  Just got word my new baby is coming home soon!  Mike just has to test fire it and then I can pick it up

JLR, what suppressor are you using on your 7WSM??

Thunderbeast Ultra 7

I had a hunch that's what you were running.  It would certainly explain your lack of POI shift.  TBAC makes one h311 of a can.

Most rifles still show a bit of a shift.  Travis was playing around with barrel dimensions though and may have figured out some tricks to reduce the impact.  This one, and our comp rifles show no appreciable shift between brake and can with the Ultra 7s or an AWC can.  The SilencerCo Specwar, however, will shift things about a 1/2 mil.  It's repeatable, but I have to admit it's much nicer not to have any shift at all.  I was pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of the Ultra 7 on this WSM though.  It's much better than the 30PS I had before.

Not even close to long range for you guys, but a huge confidence boosting cold bore shoot for me. 3 jugs in 3 shots at 325. 7 mag

Good shooting 7mmfan.

Good shooting so far everyone. I kind of feel like the thread turned into an RBros add.

Looks good to me! What rifle are you shooting?

Bumpity bump.

Thanks for the bump H20.

Yorke, it's a 16 year old Ruger M77 Mark II and VX2 3-9 x 40. Nothing fancy. Virtually the only gun I've hunted with my whole career. My dad split the cost of it with me when I was 16.

For sure. Once my AR is done I plan on participating in this thread. I have a bowl in mind that is off a logging road and will provide a safe backdrop for at least a 3 or 500 yard poke. I will have dope but need to prove it and do some shooting...ok a lot of shooting (8lb keg of varget on the way!) to begin develop skills. I like the milk jug idea as light weight to carry in and easy to pick up.

Let me know when you go and I'll come along with my iron and spot for you.  I'm close.

[h20hunter]

Yep. I think it would be fun to get a few guys, hike in and make a shoot of it.

I'll be interested in going a well. I'm in the process of upgrading all my scopes and fine tuning my 7mm-08 load. The milk jugs were part of my training before hunting season. I'd load 5 or 6 into my pack and hike as hard and fast as I could, the 2 miles uphill into the clearcut where I was shooting. It was great work.

Let me know when. I'm in if I can make it.
