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!

IMR4064 will normally give some good loads but I like H4350.

I had great luck with RL15 and the 75 grainers, I think it is too fast burning for the 100s.

My Dad is using RL15 in his SA Model 70 with a Douglas barrel. Shoots great with 100 gr. boolits, right at 3000 with a 22"....

+2 for H4350.
The JB load is 46.0 with 100 grain bullets.
Easy to load, easy to shoot.

IMR4350 has been the powder in my rifle. With 100 gr bullets or up to 117 gr bullets.
PASS IT ON!

My AI loves RLs -15 & -17, but the standby is IMR-4350.

Yep, used Nosler #6 book max load with 85 NBT. Think it was 43.5 grains. Shot well in my Montucky Bob...
