[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 999310, member: 52437"] Hey guys, I just bought a 7mm Rem Mag 1:9 twist 24in criterion match grade barrel in light varmint contour. I will be looking to work up a load for this and do not know where I should start. First off, I know factory 7mm RM typically come in 1:9.5 twist. I am not sure how much difference there will between my 1:9 and factory typical 1:9.5 twist. I will be hunting deer only from 0-500 yards. There may be a plan to go on a hunt next year where a 700 yard shot may be possible. I do understand that you cant always get one bullet that works for all distances. If there is a bullet that works great from say 0-400 yards and only "OK" from 400-700yards then that would be fine by me. I was thinking maybe something in the 160 grain weight do to the slightly faster twist? I heard for the standard 1:9.5 twist anything from 140-160 grains is fine but not sure on my 1:9 twist.
