Maxing Out at 800 Yards: Testing the Custom MAD Knob on my 7mm

Cool!

@Stephen I’m hoping it’s a little low on those yardages when I test it. It’s set for 7500 foot elevation and I’ll be shooting it first at 600. Thinner air out west should reduce drop. We’ll see!

Looking forward to that range report, bro!

@Gobbler I can’t wait for a good day to hammer. We leave one month from today!

You’ll love that. I have my 7mag set up like that with 168 gr Sierra Matchking bullets.

@Dallas next time, I’d like to see your loading setup. This knob was a matter of convenience since the ammo is likely to be around for awhile. They stopped making my favorite western load years ago, (Winchester fail safe). I load shotgun and handgun, but don’t have rifle dies yet. I’d like to find a recipe that I can settle into long term. These knobs are cheap enough for what they do.

@Mike sorry I’ve been gone on vacation. Did some fly fishing in Colorado. I kind of put social media on the back burner. I killed my first bull elk in Colorado with failsafe ammo. Good stuff. Some people are critical when they learn I hunt with match bullets but I’ve killed elk at 480 yds and 40 yds with my load

@Dallas hope you enjoyed some well deserved time away! I’m a big believer in bullet placement over strict design. I’d like to load for consistency and barrel match that doesn’t rely on a manufacturer. My farthest bull was 200 yds and my closest whitetail was in Ontario at 10 yds. Neither went more than 25 yds. I actually still have a box of fail safes, but when I switched scopes I didn’t want to risk sighting in and only having a few left for next month. Someday, maybe I’ll find a great recipe
