Finally got to try this boolit from the recent group buy
of the 7mm 150grain hunter mold. WW metal dropped
at .287 on the bands, sized to .285, lubed with blue angel,
and gas check with blammers 7mm Gator checks.
Rifle is a custom built 280 Remington on a FN Mauser 98 action,
topped with a Kahles 3-9. My all time favorite hunting rifle.
I think it will get along just fine with cast boolits!
First load was 23 grains of 5744, Fed 210, .310 OAL
in once fired un-sized Winchester nickel brass.
I'm pretty happy for a starting point!

Second load was the same except for 13 grains of Unique, slightly bettering the first.
