Did you check the Alliant website?

You'll find some data for the 7mm RM in this article...

Alliant Reloder 17

Have you tried Retumbo for those cartridges?

I believe RL17 is more suited for short mags and such.

Already have them bolth in my favs,no help on the 150 7mag or anything for the 8mag on either,thanx.

For the 8 mag w/180 (I used the Barnes TSX bullet) RL17 did come up. It starts at about 72g and goes to a max of 77g.

Good luck.

Thanx Storm,the 7mag is listed on the link above but for some reason they butchered the 150 gr load data,did they give a max FPS on the 8 mag load?gun)

Re: Load data HELP!

Quickload came up with 74.1g of RL17 for the 180 TSX at 58403 psi (max is 66717 psi) and a velocity of 3079 f/s with a 24 inch barrel. If I ran the max psi it shows a velocity of 3195 f/s at pressure of 66554 psi.

Check the Nosler site they have a good starting loads data sheet for the 7mag.

I allways had good luck with the H 4831 for 1000 yrd matches .

65.5 grs of H4831 with a 168gr SMK @ 3152 ft/sec was my most accurate load (Hot but not
to hot).

And now with H4831sc it is easer to measure.

Did it give you max grains for max pressure?

 

[Stormrider]

Sorry I missed that. It's 77.4g.

 

[MontanaRifleman]

Nonya, if and when you get a good RL17 load worked out for the 7RM, please let us how it does.

Thanks,
