These aren't found in published loading data, which is pressure-limited due to pump and semiauto rifles, but they've worked fine in several bolt actions.


What this guy said. grin


Yup. My standard load is 60 grains H4831 with a 140gr TTSX for 3050 fps and very nice accuracy.


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
