140 XLC in 7mm rem mag?
Has anyone tried this combo? How did it work out for you? Velocity, accuracy? Thanx in advance! [Wink]

Pop- Can't match your criteria 'xactly but I do have a load for my 7mag that uses 140g xbt, H4831 (68.5g), CCI magp, WW brass. I believe in chrono'd close to 3200fps in a 24" barrel and did turn a few of your home grown antelope inside out. For what's worth...

My buddy's stw likes that bullet. His gun is awful "slow". It started it's life as a 24" rem
7 mag and was converted by the previous owner. Pushing much more than 3200fps out of it starts showing pressure. ANYHOW--it's been real deadly for him up in AK. He's taken a moose and a ton of carribou. He videos all of his hunts and so even if I'm not hunting with him I get to see wound channels etc. One year I was up there with him and he shot a carribou and it went down so fast that by the time the gun came down from the recoil he thought he had missed it and shot the next closest thinking it was the same "bou". We love giving him heck about that one!
