[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2550195, member: 313"] I shoot the 143 Hammers in my 7WSM which is ballistically similar to the 7 Rem mag. Top velocity can be achieved with RE26 but lots of other powders will work fine. I recently switched to RE23 for more temperature stability and dropped the velocity back a bit. The 143H should shoot fine in a standard 9 twist. Use loading data for a similar weight cup & core bullet from any reliable reloading manual. Steve, at Hammer, usually recommends using the Nosler data which is available online. There is also a link on LRH for Hammer bullet data that is a collection of submitted data by shooters here. It will give you a good look at what has worked for others. [/QUOTE]
