[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 337713, member: 307"] demented, Long time fan and reloader of the 7Mag. She is not a finicky round to reload for most of the time. I have used a couple of powders that have really stood out as solid performers. I first started using IMR4350 and got great accuracy, but them switched to IMR4831 and it shot just as accurate. Now it may have been all in my mind but IMR4831 seems to kick a little more than IMR4350, even though the velocities in the book were similar. Then I discovered RL22 and fell in love with that stuff. It shot great and provided all the accuracy and velocity a feller needed. My load during that cycle was the 150gn Ballistic Tip ahead of 67.0gn of RL22 and a BR2 primer. Velocity averaged 3150fps in the Sendero that I shot that in. I traded that rifle for another 7mag and it likes IMR4350 better than RL22, so that is where I'm at now. My load is still the 150gn BT ahead of 63.5gn of IMR4350 with a 9.5M primer. I'm getting, on average, 3240fps but this load is 1/2 gn above the max in the Nosler #6 manual. Be careful and work up to it. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
