RE: battle of the 7mm's
I don't have any 1926 loads but I have some I loaded this year and they are nearly Idenical to the published ones. The NEF 26 inch barrel is slightly above the published loads with the 120 grain bullet which is the weight I prefer for deer at ranges to 300 yards. I am just pushing it along at about 2950-2970 fps. This apears to be a very light load and 250-300 under their published loads. That is the published loads for the amount of powder I am using. I am useing IMR 4831.
