7 mm Rem Mag Reduced Load

[bubba300]

I have made a reduced load for my 7mm using H4895 & 120 gr. Hornady SP. I was thinking that my nephew could use a lighter load for plinking and such.I found a arcticle from Chuck Hawks quite awhile back using 130 gr. sp & H4895.I had some 120 gr sp so I started at 41.5 grs. with a COL of 2.290 , hornady case & fed 215 primer.It shoots around a 3/4 " group in both my 7mm's(Rem 700 & M77) and has a speed of 2585 fps.The nice thing about this load is that it hits about a inch right of my 162 eldx load at 100 yards.I will probably speed it up a little but I am gonna try it out on a coyote when one presents itself.
