Wendell ReichRL 25 7mag 160 gr Grand Slam info?
Battling to find any load data for this. Anyone load this? I see a max load of 70gr but no COL or start load. (I assume 63 gr as a start).
Thanks

H TPuzzler. All I could find was the same 70 grain load - presumably max?? - and an OAL of 3.28". Looking at other powders for that bullet, the max velocity shown is pretty much the same as for RL 25, so I think you're on the right path. 10% off the (we think) max load is 63 grains, and that's the starting load you mentioned.

Wendell ReichThanks for looking it up. I loaded some starting at 63. Will see how it goes. This gun liked the old Speer Nitrex loads, I used to shoot in the 90s so thought I would try to duplicate it.
Thanks. Will report back in case others have the same question.
