7-30 Waters load for Encore
Just worked up a load for the 7-30 Waters using 139gr Barnes LRX bullets.
Using a 24" MGM barrel. Starting load 34.0gr CFE-223 Average Vol. 2400 fps Max load 39.0 gr CFE-223 Average Vol. 2800 fps Trim length 2.03" OCL 3.08" which was .010 from the rifling on my barrel. 5 shot strings averaged less than .5 inches at 100 yards... |
ewp,
That is one sweet shooter there. Thanks for the load recommendations using CFE-223. |
Several years ago I bought a 7-30 Waters Ackley Improved 14" barrel for my Contender. But since I don't go west for PR shooting anymore it got put on the back burner. Ohio has a straight wall round restriction for deer hunting so I can't use. I'll finish loading development and go after a coyote this winter.

Reloader's Nest has fallen off the net. What a loss for us shooters!

Hey BPS, I had the same gun. Also I use to reload them.
7-30 waters is a great cartridge. If your looking for RCBS dies and fire formed shell cartridges, I have them and I'm looking to sell them dies (cheap). I just don't have time to reload anymore. I sold my Contender with several barrels. Not too many people even know of that cartridge even exists. Glad to hear that your shooting it. I just have memories of that gun a deer camp. I'll get back to you on the loads. My Nosler book has a great one |
I appreciate your position, Windago, but have a bunch of 7-30 barrels and only one set of dies to feed them with.
Ebay sometimes has them reasonably priced. Here's a set for $30+9 to ship https://www.ebay.com/itm/30437827821...QAAOSw8-NiHh~V You prolly won't see em in time as it closes in less than 2 HR Definitely keep em on your radar |
