7 saum load data with 160gr accubonds

[cb4128]

Does anyone have some load data they would share with a 7SAUM and 160gr accubonds? I looked at Nosler's data and they didn't have any of the powders that I was planning on trying - H1000, RL26 or VV N565.

Thanks for any help!

I've only ran 155 Hammer Hunters and 175 Elite Hunters in mine. H1000 for both. I tried RL26 with some 155 Absolute Hammers but not enough yet. The H1000 works great for the loads I've done and would probably work great for the 160 AB's. I run 160AB's in my 7x57 AI and they shoot awesome out of it.

FWIW - I run 69.0gr RE26 in my 7WSM under the 160AB bullet. I get 3,100ft/sec with good accuracy in the 25" Bartlein bbl. I've seen no indication of excess pressure and could probably increase the charge a bit.

I currently shoot the 175gr elite hunters out of mine, but recently was given the opportunity to shoot a red stag here in Texas - the pics that I've seen of them, they weigh between 500-600lbs basically a bull elk.

That was my thinking with the 160gr accubonds.

Your 175 EH are fine in my opinion. Have you tried Hammers?

I just worry about imperfect angles and that big shoulder...I have not tried hammers. Do you have a grain weight you'd recommend? I'm shooting an 8 twist

I shoot an 8 twist as well. The 155 Hammers shoot .5 MOA in my rifle. I'm getting 3100 FPS with 65.7 gr of H1000 COAL 2.990.

Hammer hunters? And how far off the lands is your load?

Thanks!

Yes. Hammer Hunters. .070 off

Mine shoot 160-162 class bullets very well with H4831sc (56.5gr and up) and H1000 (62,5gr and up).
