An accurate load for one that won't usually shoot, is 40 grains of IMR 3031... with any bullet weight from 139 grains to 175 grains...

MV should be about 2650 fps across the board.. just pressures will vary, but the 175 grainers are safe with it...

I have seen a bunch of bad shooters go from 4 inch groups down to half inch groups with this charge of 3031...

don't ask me why, it just works...

with the different bullet weights inpact points don't charge much


the 154 grainer, either SP or RN are both a pair of my favorites, along with the 160 grain Speer Mag Tip...

there isn't a lot of bad choices in bullets for the 7 mm rounds..especially at 7/08 or 7 x 57 velocities...
