[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 705413, member: 29174"] Are you looking for 7mm Remington Magnum data?

[URL="http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp"]Cartridge Loads - Hodgdon Reloading Data Center - data.hodgdon.com[/URL] Data for 4831 has changed a bit over the years. Make sure you start out low and work up loads until they show a little pressure and back off. I have seldom been able to use the max listed loads for 4831. Rl22 and other powders also have lot variations So work all your loads up. My Sierra book says 62.8 is max for IMR4831 and does not list H4831. Hogdon does not list the Sierra 160 but I can tell you that in my experience 62.5g is getting warm but generally with H4831 you might be able to use a grain or two more than IMR4831. Rl22 has a listed max of 65g with that bullet but again approach that carefully! I at one point loaded 62.5 g of IMR4350 with that bullet but have had to back off recently as the powder I have been getting now is a little different and that load is now too hot(I load that for an old farmer buddy). You can find data for the other bullets in the Hodgdon reloading data. [/QUOTE]
