7mm mag

[M.T. Pockets]

Fabs, I had to throw you a bone on the A-Bolt - I remember your fondness for Brownings.

JackRabbit, I'm going to the range with my .300 Win and a box of 180 grain Core Lokt Ultra's this Saturday. I've also got a box of 200 grain Swift A-Frames. Whatever gives me the best groups from the 200 yard bench is going elk hunting with me this fall.

I've shot Nosler partitions (180 & 200 grain), Failsafes, Barnes X, Trophy Bonded Bear Claws and some other standard bullets and my rifle consistently prefers 180 Remington Core Lokts. If the new Core Lokt Ultras shoot the same, that's what I'm leaning towards using.

I don't get too excited about ballistic tables. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between an inch or two of trajectory at 400 yards. A hundred ft. lb. of energy isn't going to make much difference either. Hitting them where you want with a bullet that will expand and hold together is all I ask.

Good luck with your new rifle, you've got a good combination there with a .270 and a .300 Win. Mag.
