[QUOTE="James H, post: 123574, member: 5449"] I would try US869 and 50BMG before giving up. Load data here [url="http://www.hodgdon.com/data/rifle/7mmremulmag.php"]http://www.hodgdon.com/data/rifle/7mmremulmag.php[/url] Note loading data was with a 24" barrel so the slower powders should do better with a longer barrel. Data is not for SMK but will give you an idea of where to start. If you do decide to rebarrel you may consider the 7mm STW. You will get more performance than the 7mm Rem Mag. but at a cost. I have a couple Ruger No. 1s in 7 mag and one in 7mm STW. The 7mm Rem Mags are a pleasure to shoot but the STWs sharp quick recoil is definately unpleasant at the bench without a brake. [/QUOTE]
