I don't take my press anywhere.I make up some test loads and then go to the range and see if the gun likes them and if there are any pressure signs.In your case,I would probably loadthree rounds with 62gr,three with 63gr,three with 64gr,three with 65 gr and three with 66gr.Fire the 62 gr loads first watching for pressure signs.If everything looks good,let the barrel cool fully and fire the 63 gr loads,then 64gr,then 65gr,and finally the 66gr loads,letting the barrel cool fully between each group and watching for pressure signs with every shot.

What exactly are you refering to when saying, "pressure signs"? Up to this point, I have only shot factory loads. In PA I only hunted whitetails with my .308 in moderate to heavy cover, so a 150Gr. factory load with core-lokt bullets was great. But now I am stationed in Utah and will be making longer more, open shots, for the most part, soI want more precision. Plus, 7mm factory loads are just plain expensive! At any rate, thanks for all the help andI will let you know what happens.

If you aren't very familiar with pressure signs,you need to do some research before attempting any reloading.Below are some links that might help.

I've used the 140 gr. TSX in my 7mm Mag Sako. 66 grs. of H4831sc along with Fed215M primers in Nosler brasshas worked quite well. Killed the biggest whitetail in my life with this combination last year. As stubblejumper points out, however, this load may not be safe in your particular rifle. Start lower and work up to it if you decide to try it. BTW, these are loaded .050" off the lands as Barnes recommends.

I think you need to buy yourself a Barnes reloading manual. Or a loadbook for the 7mm Rem Mag. Read the books and the forewarnings and go from there.

Like everyone has said, its hard to tell you a load, because no one wants to be responsible if something f's up.

The 140gr TSX is a great bullet, and it will serve you well. My Browning A-bolt 7mag shoots the 160gr TSXs into ragged holes at 100 yards. I have yet to try the 140s but I could guarantee they'd shoot equally as well.

I'd use the Fed 215M primers and RL22 as well......RL22 has the repuatation of the "most accurate" powder for a 7mag.

RL22doescome highly recommended, but I for one have not had much success with it in the two 7 mags I've reloaded for.It gave good velocity, but accuracy wasnothing to write home about. It also seems less consistent lot to lot than most other powders I've used.

I have loaded for at least eight or ten 7mmremmags.R-22 has worked well in most but not all of them.I have found that some rifles prefer imr 4350 or imr4831.

IMR 4831 has worked particularly well for me, but I haven't tried it yet with the 140 gr. TSX. I guess I should.

Man a barnes tsx in a 7mm would be a lethal elk round

If you don't have one, I would purchase a good reloading manual such as the Hornady or Speer manual. I am loading the TXS in the 7mm-08 this fall but I am going to try the 120 grain TXS for Mule deer. Good luck.
