My old man is wanting me start reloading for his 7mag with him.. I am very schooled on the calibers I load for, but have not messed a lot with 7mm I did some loads for a buddy a couple years back and like the results with H4831sc, and a 154gr hornady.
my old man has a friend who buys out gun shops that are going out of buisiness and over the years we have bought about 10,000 projectiles and cartridges and new never fired brass cases. so he has approx 1500-2000 misc bullets of different weight and construction.. there are several sierra 140s and 150s and a some hornady and nosler as heavy as 175.. I do not want to mess with loading this many different bullets.. we primarily hunt with a 140gr tsx, so my whole goal here is to build a practice load that as closely as possible replicates this load, which I have no problem working out. he has only a few bucks in each box of 100 bullets, so I thought we should sell the heavy weights, and or see if someone wanted to trade..
so here is my question for you 7mag lovers, is tehre any reason to go to the trouble to use the very heavy bullets or would i be better off to sell everything and buy one target bullet?
