Thread: 7-375R / 7mm Fatso or the 7-300 Win mag??

I am thinking of having another 7mm done since the beginning of the year owning a semi custom 280 ackley running 162 A-maxs.
The calibers i am thinking of are the 7-375R / 7mm Fatso and the 7-300 Win mag..
I have read with great interest about the 7-375R but would like to hear about the other peoples experiences with any of these calibers please??

7/375R
I have one on a Remington action, standard barrel, stug stock, vx6 just over 7 pounds all up, constantly shots under 3 inches at 700 yards, my go two gun for any hunt.

what sort of speed are the amaxes at Brads? and how much is involved in brass prep?

Don't really want another who has the fastest thread, mine doodle along 3250 more speed easy to find.
Brass prep? I clean, size, load and shoot
Think I'm up two about 7 firings no issues yet say its got 7 more in it.

I to have a 7-375 ruger.

Have shoot steel out to 1060y so far and looking to shoot further with great accuracy.

Mine is built on a tikka m695, truflight barrel, stug stock, vx6 Also my go to gun, 140 accubonds for up close and 162 cruising along for LR work

Hi, have you got a pic of the rifle? I have a M595 and was thinking of giving it similar treatment...would be keen to get a ''preview'' of what it may look like.
