[QUOTE="Casey Napier, post: 156438, member: 6213"] Thanks for the information and advice. I have really learned alot since I started browsing this site and really value yalls opinions! I was sitting at my loading bench this evening and noticed I had a pound of AA8700. Anyway I was bored and wanted to do some shooting(My local sporting goods store did not have any 7MM 160 AB's that I wanted to try), so I started looking through my load manuals and decided to see what I could do with the 120 TSX's and the old AA8700 that has been gathering dust for a couple of years. AA8700 is the quickest powder for a 130Gr. bullet in my Lyman load manual, it did not show a load for a 120. To my suprise, 110Gr's of AA8700 (which is the max load reccomended for the 130) and the 120 7MM TSX produced a consistant 1/2" or better group once I found the sweet spot seating depth. I even shot a .526 5-shot group. I have no idea how fast these little bullets are flying but I would guess around 3600+ out of my Ulti-Mag. How about this combo for a deer round out to 500 yards? Opinions wanted! I am scared I am going to shoot the riflings out of my Ulti-Mag but dang its fun!!! Thanks RidgeRooster [/QUOTE]
