Hi all, just as the title implies, looking for load data for the Berger 195's in a 7 mm WSM. Rifle is a custom Remington 700 LA, 28" PacNor barrel, Jewell trigger, McMillan game scout stock, Burris XTR2 3-15. It sure loves the Berger 180s with 64.0 grs of RL25, just curious if anybody has any loads/experience with the 195 missiles. I know the 28 Nosler guys sure seem to love em! Thanks
 
This is from berger.

Is your WSM throated for the 195s with the boat tail junction at the neck shoulder junction? When I built my WSM I had the throat setup for 180s seated appropriately which made most data on the internet worthless.

Yes it is. I should have some loads worked up for the 195s soon, then I'll be able to compare them to the 180s. How did your data on the 195s vary from the stuff on the Internet?
 
I only shot 180s but with loads on the net pressure was obviously way lower. I had to increase about 5 grains just to get back to normal and then went up another grain to find the accuracy node. I had plenty of room before pressure signs but I stopped where the accuracy was. I have since moved on to the 7-300 win and am currently adding a 300 win. From the data I have seen on the internet I do not think the 195 will gain much ballistically. My 7-300 is also throated for 180 hybrids. The only reason I posted in the thread is because you need to be sure the data anyone gives you is for a similarly throated WSM. If I were you I would just run a ladder.
 
Yes! I want to know also. I'm thinking my long throated 7wsm with RL-26 and 195's might just be a 2900 FPS combo in a 27' barrel...?
 
Let's bump this again
