Anyone have any good loads for the 7mm wby? I’m currently working with the 145 LRX and not having great luck. Thinking about switching to the 160 accubond. I’ve got all the usual suspects for powder. 22,25,26,7828,magnum,H100, retumbo. Not absolutely set one the accubond either. Will entertain all suggestions.

I am loading the 160 grain Accubond seated on top of Weatherby/Norma brass, 76.5 grains of Reloder 25, and Federal 215M primers. It averages right at 3,070 fps out of the light contour 24” and is a consistent m.o.a. shooter.

My 7mm Magnum Weatherby shoots Barnes bullets very well. Thus far I have tried 140s, 150s, 160, and 175s and all shoot very well. My rifle has an aftermarket barrel (don't know what brand) with a 1 in 9" twist. My favorite powder is RL-19. RL-22 works well with the 175s. For some odd reason cup-and-core bullets aren't accurate in this rifle.

I had my best luck with 7828 and 160s.. 3240fps.. But mine is on a 700 action and I can seat the bullet out pretty far...
