Recipes for 7mm WSM with Reloder 26 and heavies?

[VALKYRIETP]

My son Rob is using 69.3 grains of RL 26 out of my stock Model 70, 7WSM using 131 grain HAMMER HUNTER bullets. His last 5 shot group was .538 with speeds of 3326,3320,3325,3333,3321 along with a 3 shot .384 group.

Not using the heavy bullets but remember "SPEED KILLS"

In the essence of fire forming brass and trying another temp stable powder I loaded up some H1000 with a 175 ELD-X. 66.7 grains was 2930 fps and a .4" 3 shot group, with 45 rounds down the barrel. I need to load hotter, because I think I just entered the bottom end of the node. I'm hoping to be in the 2970-3000 fps range.

Nice - I'm getting ready to try the 180 eld-m 7wsm out of a 26" DT SRS covert. I use h4350 in my 24" win 300wsm 178 eld-x @ 2926. I'm hoping this 7wsm likes it as well. Have a good one

Finally got out for a little while this weekend - elev 5880 temp 60 avg vel 2880 26" barrel suppressed 7wsm with the 180 eld-m. This was using h4350 only did 100 yrds but it was shooting great. 1/4 to 1/2 when I did my part. Will try to take to distance and see if it holds together. I see guys getting higher vel with other powders and wonder if it's worth chasing? Do you think I will be getting good use of the BC or do I need to run faster to take advantage of it. Thanks for your thoughts.

This load is done for me time to start running it and have fun. I have put this here because I was having a hard time finding info for the eld-m, hope it helps someone. I ran up to 68gr h1000 with just a Very slight ejector mark barely even see it. That load produced 3101 fps avg. I'm going to stay with the 65.5 for now. Time will tell.
