I've had a 284 and 7WSM and finding brass for those guys is like finding a hot redhead that owns a liquor store who really digs ya lol
After looking at the system and trying to figure it out, no luck. How does it work. Does the device read speed or impact velocity ?We use the SMT system. If we could find a spot for 1mi or more the mounts would be further apart.View attachment 1019626 View attachment 1019627
The system uses acoustic sensors that uses the bullet shock wave to triangulate the position of the bullets and sends the data back by wifi antenna. You use your wifi device to see a representation of the target and the hits.After looking at the system and trying to figure it out, no luck. How does it work.

Wow. Unbelievable.View attachment 1019650

The pic in the previous post shows an incomplete setup; the chrono and bottom right sensors and wifi antenna have yet to be placed.

Jumbo, let us know what you build. I'm thinking about another 7.
Nitriding will not save your throat on a severe barrel burner like the 26 Nosler. BTDT.I want to build a 7mm too, don't know which one, enjoying this thread. I was able to shoot 1 mile with a few .264 caliber rifles at Whittington Center due to the elevation, but I want to reach out further, and also be able to do 1 mile at lower elevations like near sea level where I live, and the .284 calibers with Berger EOL 195 or the 180 ELDm around 3100+ ft/sec seem like good options, and who knows, maybe Nosler will make a .284 180-185 gr RDF soon.
About the barrel life, anybody tried nitriding? If you use a pricey barrel, it seems like a good option at 2-3 X barrel life for maybe $250-300?

I think a lot of folks get too wrapped up into having the bullet stay Super sonic. There are a lot of these bullets that are handling the Transonic stage very well and able to shoot quite accurately even at a mile ( if you have an accurate rifle). But no one will try what they already have because of the Internet. Stop reading and Start to shootin.... Whats the worst to happen... You miss.. Big Woop.
I think a guy still owes it to himself to figure just what bullets do transition well, I think I posted above the 180 hybrid has not done well for me. Then another comes along with a smooth as silk comment. So right there, contradicting advice.I think a lot of folks get too wrapped up into having the bullet stay Super sonic.

I know that for myself, if I develop a load with a certain bullet, and get up to around a 600rd count on my barrel and find out my bullet doesn't do well, I'm not redoing the load because of it, I'm shooting the barrel off.
