I got lucky one day when I visited my favorite gun and pawn shop. They had a Herter/BSA 7mm Rem Mag for sale for $350.00 which I quickly bought. A very accurate and well built...
I had one in .357 Mag and it was a very well built pistol and very accurate. Made in Germany by Sauer. I used it for several years but didn't like the grips so I sold it on. Now I wish I hadn't...
I shoot 90 gr cast which is as heavy as I can go with the 1:16 twist on my Savage and which is common on older 25-20's. The 60 gr and 75 gr slugs are much more inherently accurate. Also, I never...

my two groove barrel likes
150gr -J Sierra
180 gr-Cast RN
IMR 4895 and 3031 are both powders that work well
I had one built on a 98 action with a green mountain barrel. I enjoyed shoot and hunting with it but after many years I sold it on. It was accurate with the 200 gr RN bullet and shot cast very well.
