[QUOTE="BlueMoon, post: 59011, member: 1428"] I've had a A-Bolt in 7WSM for a little over two years and have tried a bit of everything in it. My favorite powders have been WXR, RL-19 & 22 for the 140-150-160+ bullets. Have even loaded as much H870 as I could get packed into the case with a 175grn bullet seated and got a little over 2800fps. Have used 56.5grns Varget with 120grn bullets for nice accurate load or used W760-H414 for more velocity. Had a dandy load with 66.0grns RL-22 and a 160 Nosler Accubond at a hair over 3000fps. You sure have to push that long bullet way down into the case to make the Browning's magazine OAL of 2.860". I mostly use Fed. 215 primers except when using Varget or something. Looking through my data I see: 120NBT-61.0grns W760 for 3153fps average 120Vmax-56.5grns Varget for 3151 " 120Vmax-69.0grns WMR for 3193 " 120 Sie spt.-67.0grns H414 for 3427 " 120 Amax-71.5grns VN560 for 3384 " I use more 139-140grn and up bullets than the 120's. You could probably do better with the 120's using one of the 4350's or RL-19 but I don't try many speed loads with a lighter bullet. Bill [/QUOTE]
