Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Ramshot Magnum & the 7 WSM

I'm playing around with quickload and it appears that Ramshot Magnum should give good results with some of the heavier 7's.

I'm curious if any of you have used it.

I to am curious how it would work.

I have a WSM and Magnum but haven't got around to loading any WSM's with it. I've tried a bunch of it in my 7RM. It will give top velocities but accuracy hasn't been there for me. In the 7 WSM, try H4831 and H1000. I've had 2, 7 shorties, several 7RM's and one of these two usually works. IMR 7828 has also worked well in the past.

It didn't work well in my Browning Stainless Stalker in 7mm WSM. Very poor accuracy.

I settled on Re 17 with 140 grain bullets. Highest velocity and less than 1" 3 shot groups all day. Re 19 works well with the 160s.

Magnum works fine in my 7mm SAUM with 160+ bullets, for over 3000 fps from a 24" barrel with excellent accuracy. Dunno why it wouldn't do the same in the 7mm WSM. Though I will note that often Ramshot powders prefer magnum primers.

I wouldn't try Magnum with bullets under 160 grains, though. Hunter would work better with those.

One of these days I'm going to get around to loading the 162 AMax for my 7WSM's, and will try Magnum. In fact, I might try loading some this week.
