Fathers Day 2023 with my Browning 7mm Rem Mag 26″ X-Bolt and Nosler 175g ABLR

Posted on by

If you didn’t read my last article on this rifle, bullets, powder and primer. Here it is…

Browning X-Bolt Speed 7mm Rem Mag/w Nosler 175g ABLR at Sub-MOA w/ Timney Trigger/Leupold VX-6 – Wow Accuracy at 3000fps

I am very pleased indeed. I was wondering what difference the Norma case makes from new to 5 times shot. So I shot today, between rain drops out of boredom, with a new case, a 3x shot case and a 5 or 6x shot case. The primer went in easy with the 5 or 6x shot  case and harder with the new case. The older case necks were annealed and bullets seated easier than the new case.

I shot the three rounds with 2 old and 1 new case at 150yds. No wind.  The three shot Nosler 175g ABLR group measured 1/2 inch.  MV 3000fps. COL 3.44 inches. See below.

Looks like it makes no difference between new and old cases. I like it!

Good Shooting!
