7mm rem mag powder

[ripitup911]

I'll be starting up a load for 7mm rem mag soon and would like to hear what powder you guys prefer for that caliber. I plan to shoot 160 grn nosler accubonds. Hopfully you guys have a few favorites that I happen to have in the cupboard.

IMR4831, IMR7828ssc, RL25, Magnum, H1000...

powder

IMR4831, IMR7828ssc, RL25, Magnum, H1000...

I would add RL22 TO THE LIST

 

[mmilne]

The Nosler manual lists N165 as the most accurate powder for both the 140 and 160 gr Accubonds. I've had great success with N165 and the 140 gr Accubond with my 7mmRM, have not tried the 160 Gr tho....

 

[sundance1972]

RL 25 with 22 being a close second for 160 Accubonds in mine.

 

[RojamB21]

H4831SC for most of my Magnums

 

[Ruger No.1]

Another vote for IMR 4831.

 

[ripitup911]

Ok I will be trying imr 4831 and h1000 on 160 grn acubonds 150 grn ballistic tips and 160 grn Barnes mrx

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

From the Sierra book

According to Hornady book

If you want to shoot 160 grainers

for top velocity and minimal powder, best options is

IMR 4831, 60.6gr
WLRM primer
in 1 in 9'' twist rem 700 rifle

Always make sure you start below max load and work up. This is max load from hornady book. Im not saying this is safe for your rifle. When reloading, dont trust anyone...

 

[ripitup911]

ya i usually use hornady, lyman and speer manuals. more or less just wanted to see what other people were having success with.

RL22 works best in mine and two friends I load for, behind 160 gr bullets. - dan

7mm

Retumbo is accurate 1/2'' groups and great velocity(3100fps) in mine.

 

[Gibbs505]

I would add H4831 to the list!!

 

[iambuck]

yup reloader 22 ballistic tip 140 gr. cant remember weight gain off the top of my head.

I am using IMR 4064 with a 154 grain Hornady bullet and having great results.

 

[Iron Sighted]

So far I've gotten best results with H1000 vs. H4831. Still have one lb of IMR4831 to try, but after using H1000 I may try to sell it or trade it. Still want to give Retumbo a whirl as well.
