Can someone help me with reload data for a 7x64 with Ramshot powders? | ||

Or any data for 140 Gr. to 154 Gr. bullets. | |||

Use .280 Remington data. (I have both and the loads are the same.) _______________________ | |||

www.grafs.com and buy hornady loaded ammo cheaper than brass and bullets.. this is the only factory ammo, in a non-milsurp rifle (or 22) that i've shot in a LONG time opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Thanks Jeffeosso, I bought some 162 Gr. SST from Graf for 19.99 a box but i really wanted to load 140 Gr. accubond and 154 Gr. Hor. Spir pt. two bullets I've had great luck with. | |||

jeffeosso is correct. 280 less 5% is about right in my 7x64. Max 280 data resulted in way high pressure in the 7x64. I shoot mainly 160 gr weights and am very happy with it.

139-grain Hornady / CCI 200 / 56 grains IMR 4350 / 2900 fps 150-grain Ball. Tip or Scirocco / CCI 200 / 51.5 grains IMR 4350 / 2700 fps 160-grain SPEER or Sierra / CCI 200 / 56 grains H4831SC / 2700 fps I do not "push envelopes" but stop when, with published data, the group is accurate. If you play expert with maxing out loads you are in different territory. In all cases drop down 10% and work up because YMMV. .280 Remington BDL DM and CZ 550 7x64 Brenneke _______________________ | |||

Bnagel .. thanks for clarifying that .. "most" people jump right in at middle or top loads.. but using bottom /mild loads and working up, well, yeah, that's a great idea opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
