I mostly chase super-sonic stuff....

started on the .30, .338, and .358 a couple years ago for a few local shooters....then they just sat there...no real interest, probably shoot the
10.5" .358 the most....later found out that Lapua had a .338 version for something like five years...

Who's barrel did you use? Do you have a source for the 7.62 CZ actions? My guy only has 223's and Hornets.

The numbers looked really good laying out the 7mm, and they wern't too far off....in the popular rifle length AR barrels (18 - 20") the 7 smokes the .30....the case / bore / lenght compliment each other real well.....

20" 1:14 PacNor benchgun blank, pulled and cut for the AR

bolt gun would hold ~ .225" at 200yds, but thought .6 or .7 was pretty good for the AR

Unfortunatly I had to go the long and expensive route with the CZ....bought a x39 carbine, ordered a 20" pacnor blank, hs stock, etc.....my daughter confiscated it, then tells me she likes the wood stock better

I was going for subsonic using 162 Horn. and 180 Berg. ...Got a 6ppc bushing die cut out, still have to order the expander, stem, and sizer bushing. I'll get a 7br seater coming....thanks for the tip.

The Redding neck bushing die works pretty good, open the hole a few thow....the stem is kinda a pain in the rear, found a RCBS 7 TCU tapered expander fits the small threads of the Redding die....The TAC7 (7mmSPC) is the only suppressed stuff I'm messing with right now, besides my Whispers and lil-ole baby MAC....The TAC really likes the 162 and 180 subs.....the 120 subs make a funny sound when they smack the plates at 200 yds, kinda like a ladyfinger firecracker going off, just noticable from the others....
