My best quick load out of my Model 7 20" barrel was 45.5 grains of W760 behind the 120 grain Sierra pro hunter and the 123 grain Hornady Amax speed of 2850 fps. This was only 1/2 grain under Quickload maximum so you would need to work up to that.
Well RCBS and Redding have written back and say they are too busy to contemplate new calibre dies, but CH4D have responded favourably. Will see how it goes.
Probably going to be a fair bit of snow in May, best bet is get a chopper on a short haul lift and you will get accurate info on animal numbers as well. Try James Scott he's one of the good guys.
Yep I wouldn't shoot a centre fire without one now, in saying that I still have 3 to get threaded a .243 a .257 and a custom 30:06 AI which I wont get done it's worth to much:)
Felt recoil in the .243 and .257 is more than in the suppressed magnum and other big calibre rifles.
Below my 7/08...
Since someone was talking 8 MM and FN Mauser on classic stocks, I'm doing one as well.
I know the front Schnabel looks bit blocky but I could only work with what I had, an old Parker hale stock and the front sling stud will screw in there anyway
I've just finished building one down here in New Zealand . This will be a dedicated Tahr and Chamois rifle so loading 130 Swifts and 140 Amax only .

I've sold off my .260 and 6.5x55 and having a .264 win mag built just because I wanted something different, really nothing wrong with any of them a lots of guys going 6.5x47L in NZ built on short light actions for mountain rifles ( I went 7.08 in a rem 7) as they work with high pressures so...
Good day, back from Africa and have got hold of the rifle. Tried 165 SST and Speer 165 with 58.5 of ADI 2209 ( H4350) and 63 of ADI 2213sc (H4831) all groups shot into less than .75 MOA with the SST printing about 1.5 inches higher than the Speer so don't know which bullet /load to go with, a...
