RR, loaded 168 Berger VLD with H4831SC in my in law's 700. Sub-MOA at 200 yards and even better out to 500 which is his limit due to very poor eyesight. He took a very nice 170+ mule deer with it in 2012. Good luck

Thank for the info Dosh, I'll try that powder, h4831sc.got it 168gr.berger I've heard of those bullets but never tried them, can you give me a starting powder charge?

 

[Ralph Rupple]

O yeah I forgot I only have Hornady and nose reloading manual.

RR, send an e-mail to Berger with info on your rifle (twist rate, barrel length, bullet weight, powders you want to try, etc.) Berger will send you load data within a few days. Good luck

IMR or H4831 are great in the 7MM Magnum.

I have been hunting deer with a Remington BDL 7mm mag since high school and it seems to like Reloader 19 powder. My cousin likes H1000 in his Winchester, but I have never tried it.
