7x64 cartridge/rifle clue me up

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Thanks Russ,

I can try these. I have played with a few Atomic 29 projectiles. I’ve been over to Naracoorte and was introduced to Cameron.

As for the 7x64 I guess I hadn’t got to trying these yet but Im able to access the local range so it’s an option. The load data from the seller is an accurate load but I like to try things.

I have Atomic 29 projectiles loaded for my .300wm I can only get around 1” with that from any load but it’s probably reasonable accuracy for hunting. I’m thinking Sambar.

Chris I worked up some loads for my Whelen with the 220gn atomics. 3/4" groups and 2,900 fps. Have yet to shoot something with them.

Hey mate,

Have you considered using the Aussie made Atomic 29 projectiles in your wife's rifle?
I just checked their website and they make a 135gn projectile.
I'm not sure what speed you'd get from a bullet that weight... over 3000fps?

I can completely vouch for these projectiles as these are what l use in my 425 Express and what l used in my 308 Norma.
They shoot really accurately
