465dbk7mm Rem Mag info needed
I am going to be working up some 7mm Rem mag loads using Hornady 139gr Inerbond and Nosler 140gr Accubond. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with start and max loads from the Hornady and Nosler manuals. I was planning on trying IMR 4831, 4350 and maybe 4064. Thanks for the help.

SnellstromI don't load for the 7 mag but if you go to the IMR or Hodgdons website they have some very good load information on their website.

465dbkI have looked at that website before and I noticed that the only bullet they show is the Partition. Is it safe to assume that these other bullets being of same weight will take the same powder charge? If so my search is over. Thanks.

I assume you have a reloading manual. Open to a 139/140 bullet in 7mm mag and start with the bottom load working your way up and watching for pressure.

Dan HJust another word of warning.....knowing what you're trying to work up toward is great; jumping in with max loads could ruin your day.
Use caution and enjoy your workups.
Cheers,
Dan

Rob1SGDo a seach here and in reloading. you will find more info than you need. I use RL22 in 139-140 gr loads.

6.5 SWEDEReloader #22 seems to be the powder for my 7MM, Rem. in the 140gr. and the 160gr.
6.5 SWEDE.

stillbeemanWhat do you plan on using the load for? If for anything other than paper or varmints, your results might disappoint. While the speed will impress with the lesser projectiles, the big 7 needs something in the 150-175gr range to do its best work.

465dbkWe are going mule deer hunting. Hopefully they will work for that.

Dr.KBig Mules ?. I would stay with a 160 grain !.
Been using them for years never failed me yet .
I don't use any of the powders you suggested in my 7 Mm Mag so can't help there .
Try middle of the road loads .5 grain up and down see what yours prefers hotter or milder for accuracy . That's what counts . IMO . My $0.0025 worth . Good Luck .
