175 berger

[Drifteds]

I got a tikka 7rem mag with the 9.5 twist, has anyone had any experiences using the berger 175 elite hunters in these guns? On the box they say 1-10 twist but on their twist rate calculator they show im marginally stable at 800m elevation.

They’ve been fine for me at 1000’ asl in a Rem 700 that I believe is 9.25 tw.

They will probably be ok/marginal at "normal" distances.The stability calc is a great tool and if you are ok with what it tells you for the vast majority of your shooting. Run it

I also have a 7mm Rem Mag, 1:9.5 twist, 24" barrel and have found one of my better loads using the 175 Elite Hunter's. I've shot them at elevations from 5600 to 8000 ft. , but 500 yds is the furthest I've been able to practice with them. I haven't noticed anything weird. They shoot great for my needs!

I picked them up but haven't shot them yet and sadly won't for a little while but what was your bullet jump. I'm running a tikka with an aics mag that takes 3.48 coal but these bullets seat SUPER long and at the lands it's 3.55 so they will be jumping quite a bit.

I have done a little bit of seating depth testing, and although my best results and largest sample size is jumping them 0.010", I had really good results (although small sample sizes) jumping them 0.070" as well.
