starting loads for a 7mm RUM

[Mad_Mikee]

I've recently purchased a Remington 700 in 7mm RUM and I'm looking for some starting loads.

I'm leaning towards using the Nosler Accubonds in a 140grain.

If possible, I'd like to stick to readily available powders such as H4831sc or Reloader-25.

Go with RL-25 it fills the case better.

I will not suggest a starting load for this one as teh PSI is near max but I have clocked my FPS at muzzle at 3750 with a 139 gr hdy and Max loads well plus max loads worked up.

The best acuracy i have found with both my 7mm rums have been with the160 gr accubond bullet at around 3300 fps.

You will figure out that you can load about 70 rounds per pound!! making it not cheep to shoot, but it really hammers game at that velocity.

H-870 was the best powder for this baby but it is a thing of the past.
