Are you reading my mind Kickin? I was just wondering if it would clean up the chamber in my 7RM.

Yes. And it would do it properly.

Well, it shoots. 180gr projectile at 3188 fps. Five consecutive hits on the 8” gong at 970m. Not bad for a factory gun.

That may be classified as an understatement me thinks.
Well done.

Oh, so it would also beat a custom 20 cal to a 600m gong you think??
Tough competition though two factory Ruger VT's with Sightron STAC scopes :roll:

Hmmm, nice. Should get some decent speed when stuffed with Reloder 23. I wouldn't mind one.
