Any pet loads for 7mm. Rem. Mag.

[ArkansasFatboy]

Guys I am preparing to work up loads for my 7mm rem. mag. and was wondering if you guys had any pet loads to help me get started?

What do you figure on using it for AF? My wife's favorite all-around big game (elk and mule deer) load is a 160 grain Speer GS over 64.5 grains of RL-22, CCI LRM primer, Federal Brass. It gives her 2920 fps average from her 25" barrel and 7/8" to 1", 3-shot groups at 100 yards.
We also worked up a fairly accurate lower recoil practice load for her 7mm Remington Magnum using 139 grain Hornadys and IMR-4320 powder, but I don't have the specs in front of me. I can look them up if you're interested. It seems like it runs about 2700 fps.

I get good results in a 7mm Rem. Mag. using either 140 or 160 gr. bullets with RL-22. I use large rifle (as opposed to large rifle magnum) primers. I've had excellent results with Hornady, Remington and Barnes bullets in those weights.

) Ruger #1 7mm mag 26" barrel, 9.5 pounds,

Quickload 68 gr. H4831SC 162 gr. HNDY SST 28452 with moly, 3.34" : 3001
fps predicted, measured 3000 fps, .73" 5 shot @50 yards

Quickload 65 gr. H4831SC 175 gr. HNDY Spire 2850 with moly 3.34": 2861
fps predicted, measured 2850 fps, .9" 3 shot group at 100y

If I put a high power scope and a recoil pad on that rifle and shot more carefully, I think those groups would shrink.

140gr Ballistic Tip over 68.6gr of H1000, Remington brass and CCI match primers used to get me 3/4 MOA or less (usually less) consistently out of my Savage 110. I never chrono'd it but it should be about 3000 fps.
