7WSM & RE23

[Varmint Hunter]

Now that I was able to grab some RE23 from PV I'd like to start using it in my 7WSM. I've got bullets ranging from 140-180gr. Anyone with some data to share?

FWIW - the 8.7 twist Bartlein doesn't particularly like RE26, I typically shoot RE23 loads and RE26 loads at about the same velocity in other cartridges.

I've looked in a couple books and several websites (Nosler, Sierra and Barnes) and have not found any loads for any bullet with RE23 for the 7WSM. Quite a few with RE22. I have shot H4831SC (not good) and H1000 (excellent) in mine. Maybe someone with more time spent with the 7WSM will chime in with some load data for you.

The Sierra app shows load data for RL23. Give them a look
