If anyone has a reload for this round, using 140 gr. NP bullets, I would appreciate some feedback. My rifle shoots Rem. factory loads into MOA all day long. (out to 300 yds) Since this is better than I can hold on game, I see no reason not to be satisfied with the accuracy of this load. But, this stuff is EXPENSIVE. I am looking for a load that will duplicate factory performance. For what it is worth, I get 3406 FPS with factory loads. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Be VERY, VERY careful reloading for the 7UM. I've heard form several reliable sources that they are very prone to double ignition and pressure spikes well over 100,000 PSI. Call Mike Lake @ Nosler, they've only found one powder that works moderately well. I would wait for some hard data from one of the powder or bullet companies to publish something before I reloaded any rounds for your gun. ~lokey

Gotcha. Just got data from hodgdon, AA powders, and hornady. Guess I will work up a load on my own. I was just looking for some hints from some-one who is already loading the round. Thanks for your feedback.
