Yes they shoot wonderful out of my remington 700 LR 7rem. I use RL26, I can't remember the load it's been awhile since I loaded any.

Have good luck with H1000 @ 67.1 grains = 3000fps. = 1/2" or better moa out of a Savage 111 long range hunter.

I've found them to be very accurate near max load, but in my experience their terminal performance on game has been somewhat erratic. I won't use them for serious hunting.

I use 70 grs. Of H1000 gives me 2900 I hear reloader 26 works great but I can't find it

I use 67 gr H1000 with 162 ELD-X in a Savage at 2935. Shoots sub 1/2 MOA. Worked on a black bear at 330 yds and a whitetail buck.

Where in the world did you get MRP? Through all my research I seen that was a great powder for the 7RM right there with R22. You must have had it for some time

Another powder to try is RL23.

Guys with the 700 LR. Are your throats long on those? How much freebore if any is there. What I'm asking is what's your max length you can seat the 162

I will have an answer for you as soon as I can make it back to my loading room. I'm still healing from a knee replacement. But if I remember correctly you can seat them as long as the mag will allow.

Been there done that.
I've had it for a couple years. I bought some powders that were available that would work for me when I couldn't get what I had been using. As for COAL, with the 162 in my rifle max is 3.410. Rifle not throated long and rifling is 9.25 twist.
