7mm Remington magnum pet loads

Even a 7 STW or 7 x300 WBee OR a 7 RUM will NOT shoot that FAST with 160 's ! RJ

Agreed. I have owned 6 - 7mm STW rifles Only one made just 3300 with the 160 AB, and that was pushing pretty hard.
3100 is about all one can expect from a regular 7mm Rem Mag with the 160/162 grain bullets. Dave.

Good catch, no 3075fps. Thanks

My last remaining 7 Rem is a 26” Kimber. I use 64 grains of old 7828 with 160 Accubonds or 68 with 150 NBTs. Loads show no pressure of any sort but work up. 7 Rem data is all over the place and so are velocities.

69.5 gn retumbo, 215m primer. 175gn berger hvld seated 0.010 off lands, win brass. Makes 2960 fps average in my Gaillard 24" custom model 70. This load is pretty much max in my experience.

Anyone been playing with the 150 Accubond? I had good luck getting the 140 NBT and Accubond to shoot with the same load but I can't deny my rifle shoots the 150 NBT best and a bonded option for moose wouldn't hurt my feelings.

I thought about that route but went with the 140gr pairing. Just started load development and if I can get the 140gr Accubonds, which I’ll hunt with, to shoot the same as the 140gr BTs I’ll be a happy camper Just back from a range session this morning and here’s the results of round one.

Thanks Guys

66.0 RL 22/Fed 215 load with Remington brass and 160 gr fusion bullets worked great right out of the gate .7 for the first three round group out of the rifle.

65.0 RL 22/Fed 215 with Privi brass is also sub moa with the 160 Trophy bonded bullets.
