Just got me a real good deal on a brand new Rem 7600 pump in .30-06, satin wood. Came with a scope base and a spare magazine. Will zero the iron sights at 50 yds before putting a Bushnell 3-9 on it. Taking it to northern Ontario for moose. Season opens Oct 10.
Have heard horror stories about the 870 trigger in the 7600. Actually it isn`t too bad. A little spongy but about 3 lbs. Almost feels like a 2 stage.
Will be working up loads for 165, 180 and 200 bullets at my club in southern Ontario. Already have a very accurate load for the 200 Speer and RX22 in a bolt gun.
Am led to believe that the 7600 is a strong action with its rotating locking lugs and can take the same loads as a bolt gun given the same seating depth. My first question is 'Can I work at the same pressures in the 7600 as in my Savage M11?'.
Second question: Would be very interested in feedback from other 7600 users as to the accurate loads that they have worked up in their pump.
