I've seen all the advertised loads for the 7mm Mag, and I'd like to know what you all have used and have had good luck with.

What are you shooting at and at what range?

For a general purpose load the 150 gr Corelokt is a very good performer.

I shoot a Savage 112 with a 22" barrel. I usually shoot from 20 yards on out to possibly 300 yards.

I like to use 66.5 grains of H4831 and the Hornady 162 grain Boat tail. Velocity is 3000 fps and it shoots under an inch with my rifle (Browning A Bolt)

Bigin302,

For Hunting, I primarily shoot a 175 gr. Nosler Partition over 66.0 gr. of IMR 7828 and a CCI 250 primer. It is just under 3000 fps, with excellent accuracy in my different 7mm RM's.

For plinking and target shooting, I really enjoy the 175 gr. Hornady Interlock over 63.0 gr. of Reloader 22 or the 162 gr. Hornady SST. I don't have my notes in front of me, and I can't remember the powder charge I prefer with that bullet.

Check out our 7mm Website, it has a lot of loads.

For the 7mm Mag, my favorite bullet weight is 160 grain, I reload so I use IMR 4350 at 61.0 grains and Federal Match 215GM Primers in Fed Cases, used this load for years with Nosler Part and Sierra Boat Tails, I have taken Deer, elk , moose, caribou, bear, all with the 7 mm Mag from 25 yards to 400 yards.

Big,

Can I guess that you are shooting factory loads and hunting deer? If that's the case just buy a 150 gr load at WalMart that is the lowest in price. If your hunting really big game then a heavier premium bullet will be better.
