7mm recipes

[bruno]

looking for recipes for a 7mm mag. just wondering what you guys have found that worked well. will be shot out of tikka with 22" barrel, (cut)

 

[p-17]

I've always had excellent results with 61.5 to 62 grains of IMR 4831 pushing a 160- to 162-grain bullet.

This is the load I always try first when playing with a rifle in 7mm Remington Magnum.

From a 22" barrel? That's going to be a real flamethrower. I'd suggest starting with a powder on the slightly faster-than-normal side for the 7mag. Your velocities will suffer a bit, but there's nothing you can do for a 22" barrel to attain 'normal' 7mag velocities anyway.

I'd suggest looking into 150 grain bullets, over 4350 or maybe even Varget for optimal results that won't leave you with a three-foot fireball at the muzzle and a 'three-day-ring' in your ears.

thanks
there was a prior issue with the gun that required the barrel to be cut.
and somebody had to buy a new bore-sighter
