It doesn't exist in a factory issued form... if it's a Handi or Ultra, it's a custom caliber and I'd be surprised if it shoots for long with full power loads without some serious damage. Loaded down to .280 Remington power levels, it would be fine.....I would think. H&R hasn't made the Handi or Ultra in any magnum rifle calibers.

The old defunct Harrington & Richardson did make some other firearms if that's what you are talking about.

The other way to look at this  is that there are some 150 and 165 grain loads that are within 150 fps or less of the 7mm Remington Mag. So we must ask what exactly is the role the 7mm Remington Magnum plays??? I would suggest that you begin to handload and you;ll find more than few 7mm Remington Magnum performace loads in non magnum cases. As well, the Hornady Light Magnum loads come to mind....

If however you are waiting for NEF to make a 7mm Remington Magnum, you will be waiting a long time..... it aint' gonna happen.

If you're refering to a H&R ultra rifle chambered in 7mm rem mag. I believe they were made by FN of Belgum for Harrington and Richardson. That's the extent of my knowlege on the matter and it may be wrong. Possibly someone else can fill in the blanks.

Handi, that's not surprising any more, but Alex edited his post about an hour after his original post. He and I swapped several PMs to get that out.

I have a older H&R Ultra Bolt action with the Mauser action in 30-06. I have had it for many. It is one beauty of a rifle, nothing cheap about it except the safety lever which I want to have replaced with a milled Mauser safety lever. It is one beauty, a real work of art!!!....<><.... :grin:
