[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 825123, member: 68226"] Please be aware of internet knowledge!! ALOT of people read and study the internet on a subject they are interested in and then call themselves experts on the subject with little or no real experiences in the field. I see this alot with load development. Repeat bullet names that are big just because of BC and not intended for hunting. I can tell you that if you use alot of these recommended loads you will shoot impressive 100 yd loads. But at 100 yds you might as well be shooting a 30-30. You have a 1 in 9.5 twist barrel.. At longer ranges the bullet will lose its gyroscopic ability to spin and start to tumble. You need to stay away from the heavy long BC bullets if your going to be accurate at long ranges. Even the Hornady 162 A MAX recommends a 1 in 8.5 twist,, Barnes 168 LRH a 1 in 9 twist, The "FAMOUS" Berger 180 is the best with a 1 in 8.3 twist but will work with a 1 in 9 at shorter ranges. I would look at the 160 gr Accubonds down to the 140 higher BC Hunting bullets bullets. These will stabilize and Be very deadly on big game with good shot placement. Mid power primers will be a little more accurate but AGAIN we are hunting. NOT benchresting.. I a COLD hunting situation I would rather have a reliable igniting primer, Not a squib load With a bad ES. Powders are far and wide for the 7mm mag but the most accurate will be the 4350 with the best for velocity will be the 4831. There is alot of great slower burning powders out there with higher velocitys but they work with the heavier bullets that will not stabilize at long range in your application. Remember the internet is a great place to have fun. But a quick phone call to the manufactures ( EXPERTS) can get rid of alot of Bullsh1t! [/QUOTE]
