Thanks for posting...
I just tried the Re15 for my 7-08 120NBT and although I didn't get that tight of group, I'm still in the testing stage.
My problem is I don't have a range close by..

Looks good.
Pretty partial to Remington myself.
Wasn't born owning one but I'll die owning one.

my youth load
is

40 grains 2725 fps 24"bbl
41 grains 2785 fps 22" bbl

that 2725 has taken a doe 288 yds last year step daughter plenty of punch pass through

i have taken a 200 + lb buck at 279 with it as well punched both shoulders


i seat my .010 off lands and essentially makes it a 2 shot rifle

Your SD numbers are really good.

I dropped a request to Nosler a few weeks ago asking for the 120 grain .284 to be included in the Accubond family. They did it for the 125 .308, you'd think they'd do the same for the 7mm family.

What is a "two shot" rifle?
thanks

Nice shooting! I need you as a coach! Loading and shooting!

i have been saying that for 7 years or so


but to be honest i now want a 120 e tip in 284

after killing a few with the 150 e tip i love that bullet

I do that with a 270 WSM. One in the tube and one propped up on the feed ramp.

IMR/H4350 makes for a pretty good 7-08 powder if you aren't chasing big fps numbers. 8208XBR works pretty good with a 120 gr. BT too.

As thick as the jacket is on a 120 gr. BT I don't really see a need of it being a bonded bullet, unless you want to shoot it in a 7mm Rem Mag or something of that nature. Then a TTSX would be a better choice...

i have pushed it to 3600 and killed at 50 and 30 yds 120 nbt will hold but it is on the edge

A two shot rifle is what happens when you load your bullet to a length that exceeds your magazine length. My 300, 06, 300 WSM, 280, and 308 are all that way. You load one into chamber and the 2nd one into the magazine. You cannot put another into the magazine because the first bullet is too long, it does not fit.

Some folks really really do not like this, they get really excited, that's okay, you load the way you feel is best for your circumstances. Seems to me a lot of Remington's have long throats and benefit from reducing the jump.

If you have a long throat rifle but do not want to give up magazine capacity, you need to be sure the neck tension is very close on all rounds. The bullet is launched, hopefully enough to engage the lands, by the primer. A not-exactly round case neck will apply uneven pressure on the bullet and launch it cockeyed into the lands. Getting it straight causes vibrations which translates into the barrel ejecting the bullet at varying points in the vibration cycle, affecting accuracy.
