Thanks |
Application?

7mag
Antelope hunting this fall and then whitetails after that
|
Lopers and deer don't need much killing. Hard to go wrong, I'd get bullets 120-162 gr, load em over some rl22 and stuff is gonna die.
|
Any 7mm RM that I have loaded for shot well with 65.0 of H4831 and any 160 grain bullet..If I had to name one I'd say Speer, but I've had good results with Noslers and others..
|
Thanks for the info I would really like to shoot 140-150 gr noslers I think. How about reloader 22?
|
In my friends savage, I ended up with a max charge of rl 22 behind a 120 gr nosler BT and it does 5 under an inch, at 3500 fps.
Hes happy. |
My Remmy 700 7Mag likes 64gr H4831SC using a 160gr Nosler Accubond bullet
|
Go to the Nosler site they have lists for each caliber and grain bullet that perfomed the best. They had a load I remember that was a 140 gr nosler that tested best of the bunch traveling at 3300 or 3400. They say it was very accurate. Check it out.

Use the 4831 in my 7 mm mag. With a 150 gr. bullet is runs at just over 3100 ft/sec. I've never hunted antelope but for whitetails it works well.
