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?Quote:

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.
You also need to let the neck length grow to full specs, so neck tension/bearing surface will change as you do that. It’s good to have options, but there are plenty of factory 7mm cartridges with similar performance to consider too.
Thanks guys good things to note, I appreciate it.
I wanted something a little bit different and this fits the bill.
Looking at a stiller action, trueflight barrel, Ken from Vegas stock
A decent trigger
See Cam on here at Alpine precision and get a decent barrel��
Cheers echo
But Grant from true flight helped Nathan develop the 7mm plus I know a few people with his barrels that love em so I’ll stick with true flite
I have a straight neck down version. Love it, plenty of brass, gets a 180 out at 3100+. Necked down easily.
