[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2953489, member: 36999"] I would try trailboss in the 9 to 12 grain range depending on your case fill and other factors such as bullet shape and twist rate. I just did subsonic load work ups in a 30-06 and 12.5gr got me 1050 fps with a 208gr bullet in a 20” 8 twist barrel. With a 178gr bullet I got 1133 fps with the same powder charge. In your case check to make sure that doesn’t result in a compressed load then work down to get subsonic. You won’t get any expansion at that velocity and I don’t know of any subsonic expanding bullets for the 7mm like there is for the .30 cal. [/QUOTE]
