7MM Rem Mag Mcwhorter rifle @ 700 yards - part 1

Shooting My custom 7MM Rem Mag build by Mcwhorter rifels @ 700 yards shooting range. Although I am still a student of long range shooting, but the rifle combined with Nightforce Scope & ballistic program performs extremely well. Keep in mind that this rifle is in hunting configuration not target or bench rest configuration.

700 yards, no way. Bullet impact is too soon.

@RSpicer426

well have you ever shot @ 700 yards using 7mag, 168 gr berger with BC.617 pushing 3000 f/s? any way I don't know where you live, but check "gun site hills" on the web and check the same range in case you live close and want to join us sometime for shooting.

savage 110 is a great rifle out of box. and I love .284 bullets. good luck with your new hobby. I am sure you will never regret starting this.

@RSpicer426 I stumbled onto this video and kinda wondered the same thing about the length of time. Given 168gr, BC of .617 at 3000fps at the muzzle, 728ft of elevation (published elevation of Lexington, GA as I found it) 85 degrees, 29.92 Hgs of pressure and 70% humidity, jbmballistics says the bullet should take .842 seconds to get to the target at 700 yards. I just guessed the temp, atmospheric pressure and humidity as I am familiar with GA weather.

@Velocity4000fps savage is a very good rifle, but in case if you wand a custom rifle, look in pownshops for a beat up remington 700 with a good action, take the barrle of and send the action to Dauglass to true the action and put a good barrel on it for about $450, put a timny trigger on it for $100 and get you a tactical Bell&carlson stock with aluminum bedding for $210 and have all the screws torqued down. this is a very inexpensive way for the toy you will get. good luck with your fun hobby.

@shirazenterprise I'm considering the savage M11 long range hunter in 6.5 284 or 7mm. I just recently purchased a box of HSM 95 gr. berger vld ammo for my .243 as the BC was very high, the highest of any .243 ammo i have seen. Then seen how high the BC was for the berger 6.5 and 7mm, wow!!. I dont reload yet, i have been saving all my brass until i can purchase my own epuipment. If money wasent a issue, i would get me a mcwhorter rifle. The savage will run me around $1700 with a midrange scope.

@Velocity4000fps Hi. I have 7mm rem mag, and 300wsm long range systems; my next one will definately be a 6.5x284. I load my ammo myself and I had a vrey good luck with berger bullets. this vedio is belong to the first time I took my 7mag to 700 yard range, if you look at my other clips, you will see that my groups tight up realy good. So, berger bullet was good from the begining, and I was the verible that needed to be worked on.don't give up on berger bullet, it performs very well on game also

@shirazenterprise Cool, sounded like you was having fun. I have been wanting either a 7mm mag or the 6.5 - 284 norma for a while. Me and my brother have been learning how to make long shots with a .270 and .243. What kind of ammo you use?. i have heard good things about the berger vld bullets.

Awsome shooting, nice rifle.

Nice! Im looking at a Sendero rem 700 package with a 5.5-22x56 NF NXS on it, blueprinting the action, trueing the barrel, bedding the barrel, and getting a muzzle brake for it. However, it comes in 7mRM and RUM, and .300 Win and RUM. Ideas?
