[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2524270, member: 118512"] I got a new Proof Research 7mm Rem Mag that I'm gonna be doing load development for this weekend starting tomorrow using either the 143 HH or the 155 HH; I have both on hand. I looked up the Hammer Load Data and it appears there's not much info on there for a 24" 7 Rem Mag unless your using RL-23 which is the one useful powder that I do not have. Honestly though, the velocities with 23 don't really look that impressive to me anyways (possibly too slow for 143's and maybe even 155's for top velocity ranges those weight bullets). From what I can find looking through my Hornady and Nosler manuals it appears that the best possible powders for those bullet weights will be IMR-4350, IMR-4831, RL-19, and RL-22. And there's some others (I have had fantastic luck with IMR-7828 from 150 grain and up in the past in the 7 RM). Anyways, I'm gonna start with the IMR's first tomorrow and then just go from there if neither works out unless someone out there has any better recommendations other than RL-23 which I don't have any of? Steve if you wanna chime in to point me off in the right direction powder wise please feel free to do so! Thanks, Jon [/QUOTE]
