Anyone testing the Berger 195 EOL yet?

[cdn shooter]

I've loaded my first 195 EOL test rounds, hoping to get to the range tomorrow. I'm testing in a 7wsm, 30" benchmark with an 8.5 twist...should be interesting.

Anyone else having a go with these?

Let us know how it goes, I didn't even know they were available yet.

 

[cdn shooter]

For sure. Hoping they'll settle into the 2900 node before pressure signs. We'll see.

A bunch of testing going on and shooters reaching 3100fps in 9 twist barrels

Results have been positive.

Shot some the other day out of a 9 twist 7wsm and 9.5 twist 7-08. These things are slippery we were shooting in a 14mph wind and they were drifting less than half as much as a 105 amax was

What kind of velocities were you getting from the 7-08?

Where can i get some? Haven't seen any in Canada yet.

Bought a couple of boxes from Jerry. I've had them a few weeks now. Saving them for a 8 twist 7 RUM that should be ready by mid December.

Nice I'm building an 8.5 twist 28 nosler I want to give them a try in

That'd be me. Let me know if you need some. I imported a few extra boxes to offset import and shipping fees.

I was also the one shooting with Rob. It was actually my 9.5" twist 7WSM Kimber Montana and my 9" twist 7-08 Montana. They don't stabilize in my 9.5" twist 7-08 RAR.

They were starting loads. 2704 fps average from the 7WSM and 2412 from the 7-08. Pretty sure I can push to 2850+ from the 7WSM and 2500+ from the 7-08.

Double tap

Pm sent Jordan let me know if you don't get it

I wonder if 284 Shehane can handle 195 gr. I have 8.75" twist rate Krieger 28".

Should be really close to fully stabilizing them, I know I'd give them a go.

I screwed up and loaded brass from another 7wsm that I have, got to range and found they wouldn't chamber. Managed to get them resized without taking them apart....hopefully get time this weekend to try them.

Any chrono readings to report?

Curious how you resized competed ammo? I thought that was a major no-no?

The chamber in my benchmark 7wsm was cut very small. Base diameter is .550 like the RUM cartridges, not .555 like a WSM. So they went through a 300 RUM FL die with the decap stem removed to reduce the base, then through a 300wsm FL die to bump the shoulder back. Checked runout after and they stayed straight...good to go.
