Tell me about your experience with the 7mm WSM
What are you shooting it in, what loads are you using, how well does it shoot, what have you killed with it?

Please do not tell me all about your 7mm Remington/7x57/7x64/7STW/300 WSM/45-70/etc. ad nausium.

Had one in a New Haven Model 70 featherweight . Shot sub MOA for 5 shots with the 140gn NBT , 140gn accubond and 160gn accubond . The 140gn loads were with H4831SC at 3150 FPS and the 160gn with Reloder 25 at 3030 FPS . I have shot boars to 100kg plus , feral donkeys to maybe 300kg , feral goats , dingo . Ranges to 400m .
Nothing not to like about the cartridge IMO. Fed well , shot well , killed well. Shoots flat. Was easy to develop an accurate load .
Now have a Sako 75 deluxe in .270 WSM but would have had another 7mm WSM if they were available.


The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.
