Hello Everyone. So im looking for some help on the 7x64. From what I have been reading is since there is a lack in info on this round most ppl I have found are saying use 280 data and work up... here is there is issue.. Im a 280 fan an know with first had experience that what the books tell you is a lot lower in pressure then need.. so my cunudrum.. I have factory European ammo here (TIG Brenneke 177gr with an MV of 2790) most reload data is hard to see 160gr in that ball park... Im not trying to compare or get those velocities(although would be nice) but he has givin me 100 175gr Sierra Gamekings that will stabize in this rifle and asked me to see if I can get a load worked up for him. Its an older Custom German man rifle from what I understand and its all I know lol. What I was planning on doing is takin my 280 load data and working up(but im experimenting with 150GMX and 160gr TBT) so not to sure if 7828,RL17-19,IMR 4831 are the powders of choice or not for heavier pills in the 7x64. I will be working up data 10% lower then book load and work my way up as i normally do.
(if it helps i currently load for 7-08 and 280) so hoping to use those powders/ components if possible
Thanks again
Josh
