lead free 7mm rem mag

[7millmag]

i'm just getting back into reloading after a few years. And in Cali they are getting ready to switch over to non lead, for hunting bullets. any one have a good combo for them out of a savage rifle. I've shot the Hornady gmx (factory loads) and had issues with primer ejecting from the cases, probly just a bad batch from Hornady, and they didnt group that well ether. looking to load my own. the rifle is a model, 111. 7mm rem mag. any good lead free bullets that group well, at all ranges. and still perform as a hunting bullet should?

hammer bullets. I use them in 270 and 300 no 7mm but they group great and very easy load work up.

nosler ETIP 150 grn is what I use in my 7rm. deadly accurate and pushes out to 3100fps

Mine shoots Barnes TTSXs pretty well.

thank you, I've herd good things about the ttsx, not much about the etip tho.

not much about the etip

The E-Tip runs at higher pressure for the same charge.

Not my thing.

The TTSX or LRx would be the way to go.

can you check the spacing from the lands buy using a fired casing and a bullet, and inserting it into the chamber and closing the bolt, then measuring the O.A.C.L that way. or is that BS? read it on a different forum a while back, but would like to cross reference

also is there a big difference in brass, cause i have mixed cases

Yes, but you will probably have to press the side of the neck in enough to hold the bullet. If you have a Lee collet neck die, you can size the case neck just enough to hold the bullet as well. The OACL will give you a ballpark, but you really need to measure off the ogive of the bullet with a comparator.

Thank you.

I have been using Barnes for years and have had no issues. I like TTSX and TSX for hunting. I do not like the Nosler E-Tip bullets and I have had issues with these bullets. I have not used the Hornady GMX bullets for hunting ,as of this date. I have been using the 110 grain TTSX in my 7 Mauser IMP. with great results. This bullet would be a little light with a 7MAG. I would use 140 plus bullets for hunting.
