Thread: Model 7 rechamber

What twist was it? My old model 7 was a 9 twist and it shot the 140 class projectiles awesome. Think it did the rounds of a couple of different guys on here after I had it. Was a great little no nonsense rifle that one, cut my teeth reloading for it. Shot the 139 Scenar really really well and the old 140 amax went good too. Strange though because I think some of the real early ones were 11 twist and didnt like anything over 130 class but mine was as old as they come, had the old "brick shit house" synthetic stock and all but was definately 9 twist and loved those projectiles

I'm pretty sure mines an 11 twist. Its definitely done the rounds on this forum, came with one of those brick shithouse stocks also. I tried the vld130s 1st and they sprayed all over the show. As did the 130 eldm. As soon as I dropped back to the 123eldm it was shooting half moa clover leafs. I just hate the thought of leaving the 260 behind the whole time and grabbing my wsm for more down range energy. The goal is to be able be able to stabilise the 140 range

My m7 stablilises the 140gners fine with 1in 9
