found this on reloadersnest Load 11147 detail in caliber 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum

My brother has a 7mmRUM but i cant get him talked into trying the Bergers. I think once he does he will not be dissapointed. Anyway good luck with yours and post some pics of it and some targets when you get her dialed in.

My buddy is loading 90gr of Retumbo with the 168gr bergers. This load is scary accurate in his 7RUM. I have had great success with retumbo also. Also heard H1000 is great in the RUM's. Good luck

85 grains of RE25 seems to work well for me. I've copied and pasted the info provided from Berger.

My recipe is :
168 Berger HVLD
F215
RL25 = 84.0
COAL = 3.650
Ogive = 2.993
M.V. = 3200
I get a consistant 1/2" group with an accurized sporter w. factory barrel.
Hope this helps.

At what range I just bought a 7 RUM XHR that im going to be loading some 168 hvlds for on Sunday I'd really like to get half inch groups out of it at 500 yards just wondering if it's doable. But I guess I'll find out eh hehe
