<Wild Bill>I've been wanting to try N560 in my 7 mag but have no load data. Is 69gr the max for 140gr bullets? What would it be for 168gr match kings?

<FAINA>Hi Bill,
sorry, I could not ask why my PC have some problems, but now it's all ok.
So, Vihta n-560 is a great powder for 7mm Rem. mag. loadet with 140 to 160g bullets, probably also for 168 g but I have not probe it.
69.0 g of 560 is close the max load, but I think in winter by cold weater you can load 0.5 g more. This is the MAXIMUM if you want to load with safety and with reasonable pressure.
In this days I look by some friends if they have load 168 g with this powdwer, than I send you a message.
