I've been scouring the internet for 7mm Remington load data using IMR 4064 with a 150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip in particular and also some other powders. We are missing quite a few powders around here and I do have some 4064 on hand but that's it for now. So if I could get some loading spec's (min/max) I can start looking for some other powders as well. Maybe IMR 4350, 4381 or some others.


Thanks!

I think 4064 is a little fast for the 7mag.I've had good luck with IMR-4350,65.3grs was my max with 150gr BT,but Reloader-22 is my go to powder these days,69.5grs is my max with 150gr BT with it.

This is from Loaddata.com . It is listed as a max. load.

150 Rem SPCL IMR IMR-4064 54.0 2,935
Remarks: dia.: .284"; COL: 3.290"; 51,600 cup

Definitely not the best choice for the big 7 but....Nosler #6 shows:

start - 49grs for 2778fps
max - 53grs for 2968fps

So where should I go.....R-22??? Or 4350??? I guess I'll have to find some either way.

Took the rifle up and had some luck with 160 Speers SPBT over 52 grains 4064 = 5/8" group at 100 yards wind 5-10 swirling.

The gun is a Savage 110 LA in 9.5 twist but it does so far likes bullets in the 160 range, haven't tried under. Tried Berger VLD in 168 and barely papered them, 175 Speer SPBT keyholes so I had to bump it down to stabilize. I really want a load for both longer range and short range, muleys and elk. I've always liked SPBT but the ramp loads them hard and can deform the bullet tip even after ramp work?

IMR-4350 would be the fastest powder on the burnrate scale I would use.I would defiantly choose one around the Reloader-22 burnrate.Some powders have been hard to come by lately.IMR-7828 seems to be available at most places.It would also be a good choice.I have not used it in my 7mag,but I have used it in my 7STW.I had good results with it,just had to add about one grain more than what I was loading with Reloader-22.Here is a link to a burnrate scale. http://reloadersnest.com/burnrates.asp
