[QUOTE="Bigaldepr, post: 1568737, member: 102210"] With my admittedly limited experience I believe the 160-168 grain bullet to be the top of the sweet spot for the 7mm RM. 70 grains of H1000 behind a 160 grain Partition has a 98% load density. When you go up to 175 grain bullets then you drop to around 66 grains for a 90% load density. Load development using 65 grains of H4831 for the 160 Partition, 89% load density, is no where near as accurate. Load development for both my 7mm RM and 22-250 Rem seems to validate what I have read from Hodgdon, best accuracy is [B]"likely"[/B] to be found with powders that have high load densities for your cartridge. I see a consistent tendency of the groups getting smaller as I work up the load ladder and the load density increases. Again, I am a rookie and have not ventured beyond the published maximums.
