A 165 gr load almost produces shoulder separation. "Low recoil" is not a term I would use for this caliber...but maybe the two extra lbs makes a difference.Not to take away from the work, it is obviously a well built custom rifle and good looking to boot. Glad to see others using this great caliber.
With the muzzle brake, recoil is about like a 243. My girlfriend is 105lbs and she shoots is just fine Actionshooter, been to busy getting everyone's stuff ready for hunting season. Haven't shot a 3gun since Ironman. We are going to go down to Area 1 Multigun in Oct. though. You going?
I am surprised that you can get 3040 fps from a 180 grain bullet from the 7WSM. My brother has a 300 WSM and gets in the high 2900 to low 3000 fps range. I shoot a 300 Win Mag and can get over 3100 if I push it but again it is quite surprising to me you can get that velocity. What powder do you use? How many times can you reload the ammo before the primer pockets are too stretched to hold a primer? Thanks, Rufous.
That is a gorgeous build right there Travis! You guys are putting together some of the best looking tactical and hunting rigs I've seen in some time. Not to mention the fact that you shot a 4" group at 1K! That alone blows my perception of what a hunting rifle is capable of..... what kind of barrel life expectancy are getting from the 7WSM?
