Anyone on here done a superpig. Was thinking of turning the tikka t3X into one
Yep @Kooza has a 20 inch suppressed t3 7RM. With the right powder still runs 162 at 3k
My t3 using 2225 is running 162 at 2950 from a 20

20 not really a pig tho is it....maybe a carbine?
Same as my 7mmsaumQuote:

Doc Watson done a shortened RM not sure if its a pig either though.....try 16 or less for a pig and I'd say the RM is completely wasted in that format
I'm going to have to re-look at my 7mm mag, R93, 24" barre,l 162amax, 50thou jump, 71gr 2217, getting 2854.
That doesn't sound right Stug......
Yeah seemed slow to me, but a 160 accubond seated same with 70gr (?) 2217 gives 29?? fps.
Bloody Blaser aye ;)Quote:

My 7RM (bought off DW) is either 20 or 21" barrel and runs Berger 168s at 3050
Inaccurate chrony? From memory you got slow velocity from your 7saum too?Quote:

mate im thinking some of these loads must be warm considering barrel length. ive got a 23 or 24 running 2225 162 amax 2964fps. 73.5 grains in a tikka t3. no ideaQuote:

Chopped my T3 back to 22" and put a DPT can on, at 24" with the 162 AMax and N560 I was getting 3090 fps, after the chop and can the same load produced 3123 fps ! Not what I was expecting, grouping improved too.
Only other factor that I thought might have influenced this was velocity measured at 24" was at the NZDA range in Upper Hutt, at 22" at the NZDA range Christchurch.
Measured velocity means zip unless its validated :)Quote:

I was always told speed isnt everything. Seems like everyone want to be up @3000fps
Speed certainly isn't everything, great consistency in accuracy should always be the primary objective, but if you can get near max possible velocity (for your cartridge/rifle package) while keeping that great accuracy then why would you not want the extra advantage from reduced windage and more terminal energy etc/extended useful range?Quote:

Has anyone run factory ammo through shortened 7mm Rem Mags? And if so, what performance are you getting and how is it to shoot?
Don't do it....do what Trooper90 says...or get a short 308....
Just saying...
Dunno about factory ammo but with reloads plenty of people are still getting a 162 at 2950 - 3000fps out of a 20” barrel. I’m intending to chop mine from 24 down to 21 next year.Quote:

Already have a short 308 for bush hunting. Just toying with the idea of an all rounder with factory ammo from bush to tops.
