Chris BrooksIm thinking about replacing my tiring 264 win mag with a 7mm Practical for a bit more Oomph on the reds. Does anyone know of a decent rifle smith in the UK who has a reamer? Have any UK members on here built one yet?Any help would be much appreciated. Or should I be jumping up to a 300WM. it would be an all round rifle for fallow and roe too but my red stags are running 250kg plus at times.... |

Nathan FosterRe: 7mm Practical in the UK ?Hi Chris, Mike Norris has an account with Manson Reamers and can take care of this job for you, networking with me as needed.Do keep in mind that on very heavy animals, the .30 cal is hard to beat. I suggest you use my cartridge selection methods as described in the cartridges book with regards to both game body weights and ranges. |

Chris BrooksRe: 7mm Practical in the UK ?Hi Nathan.Thanks for the speedy reply. I know Mike as he has done some work for me before and I know he builds a good rifle! Ive just bought the 2nd edition cartridge book to add to my collection of your brilliant books and I know that the 300WM is the right answer for me but I just fancied something a little different, hence the interest in the 7mm Practical. Ill continue down the 30 cal road I think |
