What kind of loads are you using in the 7mm Rem Mag using IMR 7828?

Just curious...160/162's 168's and 175/180's especially noted.

I've gone up to 67.5 under 160 Partitions, lit by a Fed 215 for a shade over 3100 in my 26" barreled gun. 66.5 shot quite well at ~ 3075.

Ran up to 64 under a 175 Horn SP for 2905 in the same gun. Accuracy with this load sucked.

67.5 gr of IMR-7828 with the 160gr accubond 3000fps
So far I've found anything IMR-7828 will do with 160/162 gr bullets in the 7mag. RL 22 will do about the same.
In my 7 mag I cant say one (RL-22 or IMR 7828) shows better accuracy or higher speeds.

I use a load from Finn Aagaards right up on the 7mag, he used 71 grs 7826 with the 160 Sierra Game King, that load sot @ 3150 in several Rem 7 mag BDL's and a bit more in a Sako and Sendero with accuracy around an inch

150g Barnes TTSX
63.9g IMR 7828SSC
W-W Brass, trimmed to 2.490"
Federal 215 primer
COAL of 3.310" (0.050" off lands in my rifle)

0.565" group @ 2,941 fps (3 shots)

The load is not a screamer, but very accurate in my rifle which has a propensity more for 1.5" loads than 0.5" loads.

SU35,

You may not believe this, but my son-in-law has a Savage 7MM Mag using 65.0 grains of 7828 for a chronoed velocity average of 3,284 feet per second with Barnes 140 TSX! How is that posible? We have checked it a few times.
