Sierra 150 grain HPBT bullet on top of RL-22 from 59.2 grains to 67.3 grains and a Winchester LRM Primer. If you really want to use that lighter bullet: Sierra 130 grain HPBT on top of IMR-4350 from 58.9 grains to 64.9 grains and a Winchester LRM Primer. | |||

STW_fan , Varget might be ok with the 120gn but is much too quick for optimum results with 140 gn pills . I have tried H4350/AR2209 , H4831SC/AR2213SC and WXR in mine with reasonable results from all . Best result has been 66.5gns H4831SC with the 140gn Nosler BT or Accubond . Velocity around 3150 FPS and will put 5 into 0.8 which ain't bad for a model 70 featherweight .Heavier loads weren't as accurate . WLRM primers in all my 7mm WSM loads . Have a look at Shortmags.org site for more info. The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

My 7mm WSM likes WXR across the board for accuracy with Fed. 215 primers. Reloader 19 and 22 as well as H-4350 and H-4831 would be other good candidates. | |||

I used the Sierra 140 Pro Hunter for a couple of years and now the 140 Accubond and powered by RL 22 and 215's. It's very accurate. Join the NRA | |||

Im kinda looking at whats on my shelf. I like the 120's best because i already have 2 boxes of them. I have 2lbs of varget also. Everything after this weekend is just hog killing. i figure the 120's will make good sausage. My gun is a mod 70 featherweight too. i might work up some 140's later. | |||
