7mm rem mag 139 gr Hornady Sp's

[razorback2003]

Any good h4831 loads for 7mm rem mag and 139 grain hornady bt soft point interlock bullets?

Plenty good ones in the Hornady Handbook for that bullet.

Do you have The manual ? If not, and you shoot a lot of Hornady bullets, it would be prudent to get one.

53.2-63.5gr

I went with the 139's instead of a heavier bullet because I don't think it takes much to kill 100 lb deer. Most deer are killed within 100 yards. Even 200 is a long shot in the southern US. If I had a 223, I would be confident using that.

I have a Lyman book and only a 140 grain Nosler Soft Point is listed. My Hodgdon magazine is showing COL of 3.25 in and a range of 61 to 64 gr of h4831 also for a Nosler 140 gr partition.

The Hodgdon magazine is showing a 139 gr GMAX bullet of COL 3.29 and H4831 64.5 to 68.5 grains.

I figured the Interlock bullet would be closer to the Nosler bullet because both are lead core bullets and the GMAX is copper.

Well, at least you have one manual !

The list the COAL for that load at 3.250, using a WLRM primer.

They don't list a case type, they list a case typo.... so no help there.

Yeah, the current 9th edition has a typo for the case type, but the 8th edition lists "Hornady/Frontier" as the case.

Go to Cabelas and order a Laodbook USA. They are on sale for $3.99. These things are awesome. Order one for your caliber and it gives copies of load data from all the manuals.
