I have done two 7mm blaser mags with a custom reamer setup to suit 180's both 26" barrels and they are running 180 eld m at 3050 FPS with RL26 69 gn, I'm just finishing up a 24" one now so should be loading for it in the next week or two
Which 180 was it throated for? The ELDs have longer bearing surface than 180 Hybrids. Do you mind sharing your reamer print? What dies?
Sent a message regarding reamer print. Since you're throated for the long eld-m, you can also run the 195 Berger as the bearing surface is very similar.I speccd the reamer with my smith to be able to run both the Berger and Hornady 180's as some barrels can be picky as to what they like so as to not rely on one projectile, I will also be trying it with the 162 ELD x and 168 Bergers also.
I am using Redding dies at the moment, and if you shoot me a PM I will send you my reamer print
who is building your gun? Im thinking of going to someone who has built one specifically rather than using my local guy.I have a 24" one being finished up by my smith this week hopefully will get to some load development next week and I'll report back
