<EXFFPM>7MM Rem. Mag/140 Ballistic slvrtip/Imr4350
Can anyone give me the parameters for this load or any info besides "buy a Nosler manual"? The gun and the load belong to my hunting partner, so I was hoping not to have to buy the book for one load. Thanks!

m700This is from Nosler's number three manual, so it's a bit dated:
7mm Rem mag, 23.5" Wiseman test barrel, Winchester cases, Federal 215 primers
140 grain ballistic tip bullet
starting load: 61.0 gr IMR 4350 @ 3130 fps
max load: 65.0 gr IMR 4350 @ 3280 fps
Interesting to note that they show Reloader 22 at velocities up to 3340 fps with the same bullet.
I got 3225 fps from Remington factory 140 grainers in a 24" barrel 700 ADL. Haven't shot any bullets that light from the 7 maggie in several years though.
Hope this helps. They didn't have "ballistic silvertips" when my manual was published. Guy

HandloaderThe load that I shoot in my 7Mag is as follows:
Nosler or C/T 140 grain BT or BST
Powder: Reloder 19
Load: 65.5 gr
Primer: Fed 215 Match
Brass: Remington
I get 1/2 groups @ 100 yards with this load. I really don't like IMR 4350 in my 7mag or much of anything else for that matter.
Just one mans opinion.
