Blair338/378Loads for 7mmRUM with 150-160gr bullets?
Anyone have any pet loads or powders for this round?

rcamugliaAh, another overbore eh, Blair!
It's funny, I'm having one built too! I posted this question on the Favorite Loads forum a while back.
I think it's going to be just like the .264......use slooooww powder! I found an article on the internet and the guy used the T-870 and got the velocity he wanted.
I bet the N-570 you have will be just the ticket.

Blair338/378Hi Rick,
It's actually a mate's rifle.........he's getting good accuracy with RE-25 but funny that you should mention it, I'm meeting him at the range this Sunday with some N-570
I'll let you know how we go with accuracy and velocity, Rick. He is working with the 150's-160's for a PG hunt in Namibia next year.

Tyler KempYeah slooow powder and lots of it!
Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!
Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.
