The only thing is brass is getting hard to come by. I just stocked up on nosler brass very expensive. I think the 8mm mag with 200 gr a-frames would be such grizzly medicine. With that long barrel 200 gr accubonds probably close to 3200 fps would be quite the long range elk gun.
I've been...
I have gotten great results from 4451 in my 6mm and 7mm mag. I used the same loads as I did for 4350 and Rl-17.
&mm mag with 150 Ballistic Tips, got 3208 avg fps and .6" 5 shot groups at 100
I have had good luck with 4451 in 6mm Rem with 90 gr BT and 7mm Rem Mag with 150 BT. Used same loads as 4350 and RL17.
Was able to achieve 3200 fps with 7mm Mag 150 gr with .6" groups.
6mm Rem was sub .5" groups but velocity was 100 fps slower than rl17
I have been loading the 7mm Magnum for 20 years. I just got a box of Berger 168 for christmas, but haven't loaded for them yet.
I have used 7828 exclusively but with 150.
Barnes 150 with 68.5 gr of 7828, Fed 215 primers gives me right around 3000 and very tight groups.
Please start much...
