7mm WSM and RL26

[Varmint Hunter]

I just started on the rl23 load with 140 badlands.
Starting at 66 grns but it seems quite compressed already. Did you notice your case capacity filling when you loaded yours? I'm using brand new Hornady 7 wsm cases working up a ladder from 66.0 to 68.0.

Unfortunately I just don't recall the loading density. I use all Win cases because that is the only brand available at the time.

I use R26 in a straight 284 Win under a 195 EOL and get 2800 comfortably. 28" barrel. Just for velocity referenece. It's great stuff.

I'm reviving a dead one hoping someone can give a little specific help.

Just built a 7 WSM with proof carbon on impact 737r.

2.965" is max OAL with 175 ABLR.

Im also considering 155 hammer hunters.

Im seeing 62-64g with 175s and 66-68g with 155s.

If anyone can confirm their loads in these ranges and velocity I would appreciate it. I'll work up to my own charges no matter what.

I'm shooting the 155 Hammer Hunter in my 7WSM with RL 26 @ 3200. I will check my notes

So please work up but I'm a tad hotter with the 175s and RL26 than you are showing. My final load was 66.5g and 3015fps out of a 23" @ 2.975" in a savage. No pressure signs and tight pockets still after a few loads.

Won't hurt to start at 62 and work .5g until you see something.
