Reloading for 7mm Mag

[Scalloper]

Anyone have a good accurate pet load for a 7mm Mag? I just bought a new TC Venture in 7mm Mag. I am going moose hunting next month. I bought some 140 gr Nosley Partitions.
PS I have some load data for the 7mm so any info I get here will be checked out before loading. Just looking for a good recipe that others get good accuracy with.

Re-22 and imr 4831 worked well for me. # 140 gr loads between these 2 powders shot under 1/2" at 100....

Thats some outstanding shooting

i use the 4831 too with the 168s and 162s. the light bullets might do better with some rl19

I just loaded and tested some Barnes MRX and LRX in 7mm. The MRX line has been discontinued in favor of the LRX. The MRX is available in 140 and 160gr and there are still some suppliers that are carrying it, but when sold out they will be gone. I found the LRX to shoot well with IMR 4831, 58gr, with the bullet set back .050". I had .70" groups at 100 yds and just over 2800 fps. Not the fastest but nice and accurate.

65 gr h-1000 on 140 nosler accubonds....

h-4831 and either a 140 partition or accubond

154 gr Hornaday Interbonds and Retumbo

Depends what bullet you want to shoot. Mine shot really great using IMR4350 and the 150 gr Sierra, probably 1/2" groups also.

Powders that will work well in that cartridge are IMR4350, IMR4831, RL19, RL22, H4831 and just about anything else in that burn rate.

61.0g of IMR4831 and a 160g bullet has shot very well in every 7mm RM I've run into.

I will second pahntr's choice of RL22 for the bullet you have. Highly accurate in my gun as well.

 

[coyote control]

MY most accurate load is:
Barnes 150gr X (moly) over RL19.
Seated .050 off rifling.
Vel - 3200
3 shot groups usually around 5/8 @ 100.
Have made a 3 shot, 1 hole group, 2 times now with it.

I have never checked it for accuracy at 200 yet, but I sure like it at 100.

 

[Dogslayer24]

62 gr. H4831 with 140 gr. Berger VLD's.

 

[Scalloper]

Thanks all,great info here.

I use 65.5-66.5g of IMR 4350, Rem case, Rem 9v1/2 primer, bullet touching the lands, 140g at 3200 fps, unreal accurate. I use the same load with a 140g Tipped tripple shock, jump the bullets 0.050.

This was what I loaded with 140gr Partitions I had a complete pass threw on a 610 lb cow dressed at 100 yds. We dont normaly get many pass threws with any caliber on moose.
