Wondering if anyone has minimum and maximum load data at their fingertips for the following components. Rem 700 in 7 rem mag with 26" barrel. Using 168gr. Sierra Matchkings and Retumbo powder with CCI 250 primers. My manual lists a minimum at 69.0 grains with a maximum of 71.1 grains. Does anyone have a currently published manual that lists numbers for these components. I'd like to do some comparisons without buying 5 manuals | ||
