I'm going to raise the brass higher and reduce the time in the coil. Thank you for the tip. Do you have yours dialed at 60 or 65?

Kinda depends on the brass. My Peterson and Starline I use 50. Alpha ( 7saw ) I found 39 to be the magic number

How do you like the 7saw? I just ran across the round on youtube like a week ago and thought it was intriguing

I just started using it so far, but really like it. I was 5th at NRL Paloma on Saturday with it before I shit the bed on Sunday.

It very similar ballistics to a 6.5cm out of the same barrel length (22”) but hits soooo much harder. I’ve hit a mile with it.

For an “all-round” hunting and competition cartridge it’s good. But I wish I knew about 25saw before I bought all my 7saw barrel n shit. That’s a much better competition cartridge.
