175g Hornady ELD-X loads for 7mm Rem mag

[curtiscd]

Has anyone tried RL-33 behind these 175 gr pills in their 7 RM yet? I've been considering giving it a go.

From Hornady tech support:

At this time we are using the data from our 9th ed. Loading manual for the 175 gr. Wt. bullets. H 1000 start is 53.8 gr. To a max of 60.4 gr. This would be with the ELD-X 175 gr.

Dont waste your money on this useless information! Unless you like detuning the crap out of your rifle.

How many of you prefer the175 over the 162 for all around big game hunting?

I found RL33 to be almost too slow used with 195 EOL bullets. Had a pretty good accuracy node at 73 grains with those. I think it is too slow though for 175/180 class bullets.

RL26 and 180s provided great speed and velocity. I don't think H1000 is far behind in our rifles but RL26 is shining at the moment.

In case it has not been mentioned, I got much better speed without the pressure with Vit N570 versus Retumbo with 180s in a 7RM. It is probably between Retumbo and R33.

I've been using RL 25 with 67.5 grains and a col of 3.29 and it groups well with a velocity of 2888. I'm going to try 68.5 grains to see if I can hit 2950 and still be accurate.
