Thread: 7mm Practical

Who’s got one, what are they like
Is it Practical

well if you asking the question I guess you already know about Mr Fosters site.....for some reason he isnt flavour of the week on this site. plenty of info on his site about it,even more in the books.

Mate has one and rates it highly. Quite comfortable to shoot unbraced or unsuppressed as well

Mates got one built on an old tikka action. Goes sweet. I personally think there are more practical cals

Yep got his books and they help

There's been a revised reamer since the original, sounds quite appealing.

Who is he? And why is he not popular?

Nathan foster, from taranaki Google him. .... Depends who's side of the story you listen to. Nothing to worry about though.

Have you considered 7mm Blaser mag? Better option imo and experience

Just to keep this going
I’m going to build one
Should be fun and informative

So is the 7mm practical an improved cartridge (as in fireformed)?? With all the new cartridges that have appeared in the last few years, 7mm/300weatherby,, 300norma,, 28 nosler etc...Im surprised one of the factories or ammo manufacturers hasnt done the same with 7mm/300win....

So what will your build components consist of??

I considered the 7mm practical before building my 28 Nosler.

It needs fire forming as he’s changed the shoulder
Should have kept the shoulder the same and it would have been a simple neck size

Yeah, but the .... "7mm Practical has an effective hunting range of over 1400 yards ....." and that folks is how you make sales.

My mate had a 7practical for awhile. Worked well. Nathan’s idea for the 7 practical came from a thread on longranehunting.com where a guy posted results from his 7/300winmag. I agree with @Echo and don’t know why Nathan changed the shoulder angle, possibly so he could call it his own invention.
