Looking for some help, I've got a ruger m77 chambered in 7 Saum. I've loaded this rifle with Berger 180's with success, but with the standard hinged mag I'm really limited on seating depth. So I picked up some 168gr nosler ablr's. And I was hoping someone may have any advice on powders and or a good safe starting point. Thanks!

Nosler has published data on that bullet.
IMR 4831, H4831, RL19 start with either at 56.0grs and work up.

RL-23 has been amazing in my 7SAUM across a good variety of bullets (155 Hammers up to 175 ELD-X, and a few options in between those two.)
I'm at 59.0 grains R-23 in ADG brass with the 168 ABLR in my 7 SAUM, I could probably push it a little more but my barrel has just settled in.
Another vote for the RL23. IMR-7977 is also a great option.
