7mm 195gr Berger finally here

[Jcann]

7 mag, Stw, shooters may want to try this if you have a fast enough twist. I don't think the WSM/SAUM shooters will benefit.

Above 3000 fps, the bullet is flying with a G1 BC of 0.814. As it slows to 1500 fps, the G1 BC falls to 0.706, for an average of 0.754 from 3000 to 1500 fps.

THAT IS ONE NEAT BULLET.
195gr.

Hmmm.......my .280AI is a 1:9. The 180's shot really well...............they need to sell a 10 pack for trial purposes

I agree. I could probably push them in my WSM to 2,800-2,850fps but they would be seated deep. It sure will fit the bill for an ELR hunting bullet

Hmm, my 7mm rem mag rig might become a 7-300wm soon.

Hope they expand at distances where the increased bc really becomes beneficial. (700+)

I might have to buy a box and try in my stw's I'm not a fan of bergers in general but for shooting small groups at distance these might be the ticket. I'll never shoot another one at a game animal though.

That's unfortunate, I've shot deer, antelope, coyotes, and hogs from 40-430yds with 180gr hunting VLD/Hybrids and every shot dropped them where they stood with massive, and I mean massive tissue damage. Maybe you were shooting target VLD's or older bullets with thicker jackets.

Their hunting VLD has been the best bullet I've used in over 40 years of hunting.

Anyone try these yet?
