Default RE: 7mm RUM Loads

This fall I hunted with a load of 92.0gr 7828, using 139gr Hornady SST Interbonds, never chrono'd it, but I would guess 3500-3600 fps mv. Grouped unbeliveable in my rifle (700 BDL bone stock), <0.5" @100yds. I took a whitetail buck at 60yds, broke both shoulders and ribs on both sides, bullet stopped just under the far side hide. Bullet retained 80% weight, and looked just like the catalogs show. Might want to give the Interbond a look, if I remember, it was quite a bit cheaper than the Accubond.

Check reloadersnest.com, they have lots of loads and info. Use caution when working up to your load, the 7RUM uses a lot of powder........[:-]

But, it puts the hurt on deer. If you don't like blood trailing, this rifle is the one for you.

Just my $.02.

I am going to load the 154gr Interbond for this fall, Anyone have any experience with the 154gr Interbond or 160gr Accubond in the 7RUM????
