Hi there! I'm about to start working a load using Reloader 26 in a 7 mm rem mag and 168 gn Classic Hunter (Berger) bullets.

Anybody worked a similar load?

Alliant load data is very short and they didn't publish anything for that specifc bullet. They published a load data for Hornady Amax 162 gn bullet which could help me work my load but it is still a long shot...

FYI I'm using a Tikka T3X, 24 in barrel, 9.5 twist.
 
Post what they say if they reply. ..got a bunch of 162 ELD-X Hornadys I'm going to try in my 7mag.
Thinking RL-26 might be a bit on the slow side though.
 
Impressive service from Berger. I got a call and an email this morning. This is what they are suggesting based on their simulation software (you know that means we should get on the safe side of things) for a 0.284 in, 168g bullet, Re-26 and with a COAL of 3.290 in and 26 in barrel:
- Min: 62.5 gn (2834 fps)
- Max: 66.0 gn (2985 fps), fill ratio: 92%
