I'm just starting the process for developing a load for my buddy's 7mm Rem Mag Ruger No.1. I've seen a lot of pet loads given here over the years for the 7mm mag, but was wondering if you had to choose one powder to start with, which one would you go with? I'm planning on developing loads for both the 140gr Barnes TSX and for the 160gr Nosler Partition since my buddy is primarily a hunter. Obviously, he wants accurate loads but the quality hunting bullet is the most important to him. He will use the loads primarily on Elk, but may use it on deer, antelope, etc., thus my desire to give him the option of using a lighter bullet at high velocity along with a heavier bullet for larger game. Any comments on powders and charges would be helpful.
