Looking for 7mm Rem Mag load ideas

[Kelly Timoffee]

I personally would be more interested in accuracy than flat shooting. Getting a hunting bullet over .500BC is gonna be tough. the SST's are just below and the Scirocco's are .515, this is pretty good for a hunting bullet and the Sciroccos will reach out and be consistent.The animals won't be able to tell ya the speed difference anyways.

You mention you are looking for a long distance deer round. I have never used the lighter 7 mm bullets in my rem mag because they don't come anywhere near the .625 BC of the Hornady 162 Grain Amax. For a long distance hunting round, over 300 yards, this bullet started at 3000 fps with 4831, is very hard to beat. Great wind bucking and about as flat as it gets. This would be my suggestion for a long distance hunting load.

I know this is a wide open question but I am just looking for ideas. I am working on a load for my Browning A bolt using a 140 gr hunting bullet. So far I am not happy with the results I have got. I have tried Nosler ballistic tips with IMR 7828 and nosler partitions with IMR 4350. Suggestions?

I use 62 grains of IMR 4350 and 140 grain Accubonds in my Tikka 7mm mag. It is awesome. IMR 7828 didn't work for me at all.

Maybe try RL22 ? or even work on making the COL a little longer so that the cartridge still feeds well but the bullet is closer to the lands. This wroked really well for me.
