I havnt fired it for a while, as i had a short youth stock on it for the kids last time they were shooting it.

I recently grabbed a few belmont factory 55gr sp's off my bro in law, i got round to shooting some in the M7 a few days ago.

They went reasonsbly well for low cost mass produced factory loads i reckon.

Not quite as good as my handloads but not bad, i think this gun would should almost anything well.

Go the Model 7!

Very impressive shooting. My mod 7 isn't that good but the best group I shot was 8 mm at 100 yards with the Barnes 53 gr TSX but was only doing a bit over 2600 fps. My usual load is the 55 gr Hornady SP/ WC and 25 grs of BM2 for just over 3000 fps. That load at 200 yds was about one inch at 200 yds for the two shots which was good.
What's your go to load for your mod 7 223 ?, mind you those factory Belmont rounds shot very well too.
