Gotta choice of Contenders????

[Brother_Love]

I can highly recommend RCBS 145 GC, next would be the RCBS 168 GC. I've shot perfect 80X80 scores in NRA 200 meter National Championship competition with the Contender 145 gr in the 7TCU and with an XP-100 7br.

Would that be the SIL version. Thanks

It's just listed as RCBS 145 7mm. If they have come out with a 7mm silhouette version I'm not aware of it.

Seems they are calling it the "silhouette" bullet these days.

RCBS 2-Cavity Bullet Mold 7mm-145-SIL 284 Caliber, 7mm (285 Diameter) 145 Grain Silhouette Gas Check

Looks like the same one, I will try it.
Thanks again, Malcolm

Yep, it's the same bullet. They just added "silhouette" to the name since I bought mine. Guess I should update my notes.

It is a very good bullet and shoots well in the .275 Rigby also.

Also a shooter in 7-30 Waters.

Got it today! Looking for a scope now.

Glad you found your Contender. Beware they tend to multiply lol!

 

[Rick]

Did you get a 7mm mold?

 

[Brother_Love]

Not yet . I thought of getting the Lee to begin with.

I really like the 145gr silh. mold too.
I bought the 168 right afterwards and it's just a stretched out on both ends 145.
you'd really have to look long and hard to find a mold for the TCU better than it.
