Does any one have reloaddata for Barnes xlc 160 grain coated bullet for my 7 mm RM. marc_hillen@msn.com

Do you want personal loads or loads from the Barne's manual?

I had this same question myself not to long ago. I don't have Barnes's data but I gathered several off the 'net and worked up.

My rifle ( Win M70) was literally shooting into one hole with Imr 7828, WLRM's in Rem brass. I neck size with a Redding bushing die. The actual charge was over max as listed so by all means start with a lower load. I started at 64gr. and went up to 68 with no ill effects. From 66.5 to 68 went into one hole with slight verticle stringing. ( probably due to barrel heating) It seemed to take three shots from a clean bore before they settled in but I'll check that more again.

I have the Barnes manual, if you guys want some loads let me know and I'll post them.

That would be great Steve,
I would like the 150 gr XBT, 160gr. XLC for the 7mm, and if you would the 115gr. xlc data for the 25-06. Thamks

25-06

100 XLC
RL19 max load 57.0 @ 3389 fps
H4350 max load 56.0 @ 3391 fps

115 XFB

I don't think they make a 115 XLC, at least it's not in the manual so I gave yo the load for the 100 xlc and the 115 regular X. They have loads with several powder but these are the ones that they marked as recommended. Let me know if you need something else.

Thanks Steve!
