Don't forget about trying good ole' H-4350... seems always to be a great shooter for me and is pretty clean burning...

Yep, has a small amount of dust on it for now. 
This little guy has been sitting dormant waiting for my McMillan edge stock to come in and that should be by the end of the month, I hope. Once that stock is here it will be a different story. 
My Sako 260 Rem. will be my choice of rifle this year as my walkabout rifle and my 7 mm R.M. will be my long distance rifle used in my tower...

Never loade the TSX bullet but i have been usin 64 and 1/2 grains of IMR 4350 under a 140gr sierra gameking for years and its a very accurate and killing load for me.Get about 3150fps through my chrono and 3 shot groups touching at 100 yards.Killed alot of deer and hogs with it and it drops em in their tracks.Also experimented with some IMR 4895 that my buddy gave me and it shoots exactly the same with 56 grains same bullet impact and velocity as my pet load.

RE: Loads for 7 mm R.M. and 140 gr TSX
Thanks for the info but I’m trying to stay away from bullets with a lead core. I came across an article a while back that had done a study on leaded bullets and on how bullets fragmented on game. I didn’t like what I saw as for lead contamination in the meat surrounding the impact location so I’m trying to stay away from any bullets containing lead and use solid copper bullets...

71.5 grains of H4831 works very well in my Ruger No. 1B with 140-grain buillets. MV 3350 FPS, 1/2 MOA accuracy.
