[QUOTE="bblaine2k, post: 43956, member: 1440"] [b]Sierra\'s 7 RUM load suggestions[/b] Hello LR brethren, Just thought I'd pass on some info that may be of interest to the LR shooters using the 7mm Remington Ultra Mag. E-mailed Sierra's Rich Machholz and asked for load suggestions with the 168 Match King. He suggested the following for the 168 MK. Hodgdons 1000 up to 88.0 grains Hodgdons 50 BMG up to 98.0 grains Reloader 22 up to 80.0 grains Reloader 25 up to 82.0 grains He suggested starting them 3 grains short and work your way up. He also suggested 175 SBT's because of their "higher" ballistic coefficient which I couldn't find data on instead of the MK. I'm sticking with the MK because I already have them and have had good initial accuracy with them. Just wanted to pass this along. Good shooting! [/QUOTE]
