Scored a Bullberry built 7MM IHMSA

BiggerHammer · May 8, 2021

I found this handgun in a local shop. It hadn't been shot since the Silhouette Nationals in Texas in 92.Remington XP-100 built by Bullberry.

It came blued in the McMillan white stock. I shot it and it shot well with the Hornady 162gr ELD-M's over H4895. So I sent it off to Orgun Gunsmiting and had it completely refinished along with a muzzle brake and sling stud for a bipod installed. I'm waiting on a Leupold 2.5-8 VX3 Handgun scope to be delivered.

I really want to take a big game animal with it this year. I have taken game with rifles, bows, muzzle loaders and several with trucks but never with a handgun.

"Handgun", lol. Those things are pretty much rifles.. and more accurate than most so hey, it'll be dandy for long range antelope and whatnot if you're up to it.
I've always preferred hunting with a target sighted Hi-Power or 4" .357 or. 44 magnum.

Wow, that's beautiful! I used to get beat pretty regularly by a guy that shot an xp-100 in 7 IHMSA. I don't think his was a Bullberry barrel though. That thing should flat shoot!

I shot a couple Sitka Blacktail years ago with my silhouette gun in 6.5 TCU. Good thing it was extremely accurate, as I wasn't impressed with the reaction of either buck. Of course yours will have a lot more velocity with the bigger case. If I remember right...the parent case is a 300 Savage? Hey, that's like a "7 Creedmoor" Hahaa! Just kidding.

It is basically a 7mm Creedmoor Improved. I can run a Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor small primer case into the 7mm IHMSA full length die to neck it up, then trim it. Load it and fire form it.
