Never used the 100grainers in 7Mag mate, but I don't think I would be going with a powder any slower than 2209 for that combo.

I load those in a SAKO 7mm Rem magnum for a mate of mine and we have chronographed them at 3,900 FPS. I have seen him take out a fox at nearly 1/2 K. The previous owner of this SAKO eliminated a Rottweiler that was giving his prize stallion a hard time and it took out most of it chest area. They are simply awesome.

I use AR2208 in the loads, but you would need to refer to your loading manual for starting loads and work up. His load is way over the top.

Let us know how they perform Missionary, you will be able to push them pretty fast, so i imagine if you can get them to group they will be very impressive and explosive.

Ahh the Rotty became a victim of the law of the land.

Kjd,
Yeah apparently the stallion was worth about $100,000. The dog was shot the second time it was caught harassing the horse. The first time its owner was contacted and when he picked up his dog was told that the dog better not do it again. They rang two days later and simply told the dogs owner he could come and pick up its coller as that was all that was worth getting.

BTW Kjd I will be in your area in the middle Feb, do you have a need for any topo maps. I used to hunt and fish Capertee Valley, Running stream and over towards Orange when I lived there. But now that I reside in Coffs I doubt I will ever use them again. I could drop them off some where for you if you like.

Any of you guys used the 110gr "tnt" speers in 7RM?
I've got a box and am yet to work any up.
