MontMike7mag and 100 gr hp's?
Was just by one of the local reloading stores I use and they had a box of Hornady 100 gr hp's for about 1/2 price that I couldn't pass up. Thought these might be kind of fun for some springtime varmints. I usually use RL22 for my hunting rounds in the 150's and 160', but should I use a faster powder for such a small bullet in the 7mag?

fredj338I used to shoot those out of mine over IMR4831. Pretty devistating on ground squirrels.

MontMikeYour page was the first one I looked at Steve, lol. I saw you recommended h414. Not sure if I've seen that around here, but I also don't think I've looked. I do have some H4831 that I could give a try.

120 Sierra HP's do pretty well too.
MontMike, H414 is the same as Winchester 760, or so I've been told.
