Anyone experimented with these in the 7mm Rem Mag

Thinking of trying RL22, IMR7828 and H4831.
Guess I'll use the Nosler 160 partition data to start with. Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks

Sounds excellent. However, don't forget IMR 4831. I've found that this one powder is consistently the most accurate with the 160-grain weight in the 7mm Remington Magnum. It is also interesting that the Nosler manual chooses that powder as the accuracy powder with the 160-grain bullets.

Trigger-I am using that bullet in my 7 Mashburn Super and I use 7818.

I'd try that and also R22 and of course H4831

They are long!

I have excellent accuracy with Reloader 19 and IMR 4350 w/140 to 160 grain bullets and w/175 grain bullets RL 22 seems to be the best in my 7mm Mag.

Trigger, I have tried these in my .280, substituting them for he 160grNP. The accuracy is good, a bit better than the NP but also alittle bit slower. I want to load some up in my 7mm Dakota & see what they really can do. It is a loooong bullet. I have had great luck w/ RL22 & IMR7828 as far as accuracy/high vel. in the 7mag. Let us know how they shoot.

Should have some data soon. Number 1 son just opened his birthday present. A Browning A- bolt II left hand composite stainless with a 26 " barrel. Got a Leupold VX II in 3X9 matte with it.
It's got a mag box of approx 3.38 and it looks like the throat is deep enough to use all of it with the 160 accubond. Break in will be with factory 150 WW power points. Gonna start out handloading with what I have - RL22, Win brass and Win LR mag primers. Have loaded my own for a while, but this is my first magnum.

BTW - he is not recoil shy. Shot his first deer with my 338 Hawk pushing a 210 Nosler at 2850. An awesome load.

i�VE JUST TRIED SOME 160 ACCUBONDS IN MY 7 RM ON PAPER WITH 61 G. TUBAL 7000 ( SIMILAR TO IMR 4350).

CHRONY SPEAKS ABOUT 3030 FT/S, AND GOOD PRECISSION, ALTHOUGH THE EJECTOR LEFT AN IMPRINT IN CASE HEAD. I WANT TO TRY AGAIN AND REDUCE LOAD A LITTLE.

WHAT ABOUT FIELD PERFORMANCE?

Trigger, The 7mag. I used to have shot well, very well with IMR4831, try 61grs. of it with standard Win. primers, IMR4831 seems to work the best in the 7Mag from some of the reading I've done about the cartridge, too. Jay
