I'm getting 3525 FPS with RL23 and the 131 Hammer Hunters from a 26" barrel.
It just kind of takes the seven mag to a whole another level doesn't itI'm getting 3525 FPS with RL23 and the 131 Hammer Hunters from a 26" barrel.
Got the teslong!! See my thread titled carbon or something else and you can see before and after pictures of my friends gun! Lot's of jb n. e.paste! He is a hunter not a gun personIn all of my Rem 700's,Browning A Bolt, SAvage 110, the load of 65-66g of IMR 4350, Rem brass, Rem 9 1/2, bullet touching the lands or .003 off the lands shoots very tiny groups of 3/8" and smaller. Same load with a Barnes TTSX jumping .050 from the lands shoots small groups at 3200 fps.
In the same rifles, Rem brass, 72-73g of R#25, Win mag primer, 150g Nosler ballistic tip, 154g Hornady Sp, 150g Nosler C/T shoots 3/8" groups with the bullets seated very close to the lands, 3200 fps. Start at 69g and work up in your rifle.
I have wanted to try IMR 7828 with a Fed 210 in my rifles with both of these bullets since IMR 7828 was invented for the 7 Rem Mag.
I would tweek the above loads for the Hammer bullets, they create less engraving pressure from what I read, but no actual hands-on experience with them.
Keep the Carbon/copper out of your barrel.
Tes long bore scope is some of the best money you can spend!
WOW!!!My 1:9.25" twist 7mm RM loves H1000 and RL 26. Screaming the 143 Hammer Hunters out at 3330 fps. That combo saved a factory 700 from getting a make-over. Shoots sub 1/2 moa...and hits like lightening.
Will do thanksRemember that Muzzle velocity and Impact velocity are hugely dependent on BC, check your 450 yard ballistics.
Often, Muzzle velocity is a teaser.
