7mm rem mag loads

[Whitetailaddict]

I will try the 4831 I just got this jar of h 1000 powder and wanted to burn it up. I would like to thank all you guys for the info, greatly appreciated.

look there they have listing for h1000 with the 150 plus pills but, Iam sure that the load for the 150 grain will work with the 140

Did not see powder load for a 7 mm Rem Mag, 145 grain.

if you are loading 145 grn you can use a 150 grain listing. But never go the other way the preasure build will not be plesant and may be dangerous.

i doubt you'll find a berger manual on store shelves yet, their available on bergers website

4350-4831 for 140-150 bullets

h1000- rl22 for 160-168gr

magnum, retumbo for 175+ bullets

 

[OKIE2]

my most accurate load is a 140 ballistic tip & 68 grs of RL22
three shots in one hole.
bullet touching lands

My current 7RM load:

R-P case
F210 GMM primer
H4831sc @ 65.0 grains
Nosler 140 Accubond
AOL = 3.362" (at lands)

This load will shoot sub MOA (right at 2/3's MOA for me so far) at 100 and 200 yards.

Clocks just under 3100 FPS from my 26" barrel.

Worked on one 8pt buck this fall


I've also used H1000 in the past in my 7RM using a Nosler 150 BT. Had excellent results with it as well. Shot Sub-MOA, and accounted for a 7pt buck.

Since a 7mm rm is capable of 3350+fps with a 140grn pill in a 26" barrel, and accurately I might add. Why do you run them under 3100? I just saw some of the last data posted up, why waste powder in a 7mag when a 280rem/284win will do that with less powder in a 24" barrel.

Sorry 'bout the thread derail.....

Pretty simple bw83, if you must know....

I simply started my load development there with this particular rifle. After shooting the first few, I simply stopped there, due in part because of time constraints and the approaching deer season. Plus, I primarily hunt with handguns, and this rifle was my backup plan, and was also gonna be used by my wife during rifle season... that help with your question?

Do any of you guys have good loads that are shooting well out of a Sendaro 7 mm rem mag I'm wanting to load the berger 168 hunting vld best accuracy is what I'm looking for

 

[Joe King]

Not the vld, but I worked up a load for the 168great classic hunter, with H100 and fed215M. They shot 1/2map and didn't seem to care much about seating depth, as for on game performance, I smacked a muley in the chest at 50yards found a hole going into the off side shoulder but only 1 small piece of the jacket, ripped the bottom off his lungs though

 

[sendero72]

162 gr Amax
72.2 grs H-1000
Fed GM210
Brass -Rem
Seated .010 off lands
MV 3100 fps
Barrel 26" Hart #6
Group 1.5"@600 yds
Longest kill - whitetail @ 657 yds

 

[backwoods83]

Winchester, Federal, or Norma brass 168vld .010" off the lands

H4831sc use fed210M primer, start around 63.5grns and work up, pressure likely to be found around 68-68.5grns, if you get an ejector swipe back .5grns, that should put you at 3060fps +- 20fps.

H1000 start at 68grns with fed215Ms and work up, probably top out around 73grns, again when you see the swipe back off .5grns this should give you 3130fps +-20fps.

Retumbo use fed215Ms start at 69grns work up, probably top out around 74.5grns, may be compressed slightly, do the same as the others, if your rifle likes this bullet/powder combo you can safely and accurately run the 168s at almost or slightly over 3200fps, depends a lot on the barrel.

The 7mm rm is a great round, not quite as peppy as the weatherby but, most of the 2.495-2.549 length belted mags run at 64-65k psi, for some reason saami decided the 7mm rm should only be 61k psi which makes it seem like a terd, and with factory ammo it is, but when loaded right it is very respectable.

Hey all thought I'd add my 2 cents worth
I have a tikka t3 7mm mag 24 and 3/8 inch barrell,that's standard.
Bell and Carlson stock
Radial muzzle brake
Leupold vx-3L 6.5-20X56
Anyways back to the point,I run nosler custom brass,cci large mag primers,75.5gn adi 2225 or retubo for you people away from New Zealand or auz,pushing a 162 A-MAX seated at max tikka mag length doing 3075fps.
Works bloody well and no excessive pressure signs.
Groups well,consistent 1/2 MOA,drops sika deer well.

I tried H4831sc, H1000 and Retumbo on the 160grn, but the best powder for my rifle is IMR7828ssc.
