7mm rem mag rl 22

That will vary from gun to gun, dependent on the barrel and chamber dimensions, the barrel length, and the particular lot of R-22. It's likely going to be in the 61gr to 64 gr range.
 
Most of the people asking for this kind of info on here are either too cheap to buy a manual, or too lazy to look up simple websites like Hodgdon, do you reaally think they have chronographs?

Just toss out some random, yet safe, charge weight and let them think they are lobbing their 750 grain VLD's at 12,000 FPS.
 
I have recorded speeds of 2850 fps with 63 grains of rl 22 with a 24 " barrel,the nosler book shows speeds way higher than what I was getting.
 
RE-22 60.4 61.6 62.8 64.0 65.2

Sierra shows 3100 fps with their 160 grain bullets.

Accuracy Load: IMR-4064/ 50.9grs. 2800fps/ 2786ft. lbs.
Hunting Load: H4831 SC/ 63.6grs. 3000fps/ 3198ft. lbs.

Re22 does not figure in their accuracy department

If you were to use the 175 grain bullet:

Accuracy Load: RE-22/ 61.1grs. 2900fps/ 3268ft. lbs.
Hunting Load: IMR-4831/ 60.9grs. 2900fps/ 3268ft. lbs.

Until my son brings back my Nosler book that is the best I have to offer
 
I have long loaded the 7mm Rem Mag, using the 160 Partition and RL22.
Depending on the rifle, it has always taken anywhere between 64 and 67 grains of RL22
to reach 3000 or thereabouts..
I am not recommending you go above book maximums, but many 7mm Mags will digest considerably more powder without any issues.
Best safe-pressure velocity I have had with the 7mm Mag and the 160 is 3060 fps in a 24" barrel.

Just remember, a great deal of the fastest loads are not the most accurate. Speed is great untill it effects accuracy, depends on what you are looking for I guess, but I always load close to max and then back off to the most accurate grouping.

Why not start low and work up to accuracy? Seems a lot safer to me.....
 
When I reload I always start low and work up to max to see how the gun handles it. I then back off max load looking for best accuracy, no problem doing it that way as you don't know where your best accurate load will be until you run through everything ! And regarding someone asking for help, if you got nothing to give, why give abuss? The people on this forum are always forthcoming with help, thats why this forum is so dam good, the people ! MERRY CHRISTMAS !

The gun is a Sako with a 24 inch barrel, I have a Boone and Crockett reticle thats why I was trying to get close to 3000 fps. Its 5 shot group was under an inch at 100 yards.
