Ready for a new 7 mag load

[perma]

I’m not achieving the velocity I thought I would from my 7 mag. It’s enough for me to comfortably shoot 350-400 yards for elk but I’d like to poke out to 500. I currently have 150g TTSX on H1000 at a bit under 2800 FPS at .75” MOA @100 yds. My goal would be the same MOA or better but at 3000 fps.

Why you may ask? I’m bored. No other reason. Don’t fix what ain’t broke? I didn’t, I have plenty of rounds ready for bear season. I’m just bored and want to mess around some more and learn. Also want to save the powder I have, too.

No issues finding AB’s. Big issue finding RL anything. Wouldn’t mind this combination though.

Was going to suggest the same. Load I have with that combo is right at 3000 fps. Accurate and deadly.

Friend of mine has been using this load a long time. Accurate and deadly just like you said. mtmuley

I have been holding out for along time for some RL26 to push 143 Hammer Hunters out of my 7 Rem Mag. I think I would have a better luck getting a clear picture of a sasquatch ridding a unicorn while trying to rope a Chupacabra!

I used RL26 and was at 3150 with the 150 TTSX. @JohnCushman has it now with the load data. That gun shot under MOA and killed well past 400.

I’ve never had a problem getting 168’s to 3k in a 7rm with a 26” tube and h1000. That’s the Combo I’ve used on the most animals I’ve eaten.

Jesus. That's a long barrel. mtmuley

TTSX?

I typed 3 or 4 different reply’s but none of them are appropriate.

TTSX?

Cmmon man! You know!

 

[Gynaroo]

145 LRX. Mag pro. 3100 fps. I’d have to look for the load. It’s killed 3 elk and a mule deer.

 

[BuzzH]

IMR4831 and 160 accubonds gets me right at 3k.

I do have a box but they don’t group well. But I’m not loading off the lands so that’s probably my issue.

 

[MTLabrador]

H4831SC is pretty easy to find right now and works well in just about everything. I’d go 160 Accubonds, 175 ELD-X, maybe others. There’s a lot of cool 7mm bullets to play with.

I thought you shoot a 7mm-08?

 

[BuzzH]

I thought you shoot a 7mm-08?

And a 7RM.

[perma]

I was thinking of trying e-tip since I had good luck with those last year but Accubonds are always a tried and true. Every Weatherby gun I’ve owned likes em.

 

[BuzzH]

Drop bullet weight and drive the e-tips as fast as you can. Shot this years bull elk with them, prior years bull moose with the 7RM and 140's around 3200 fps.

Worked ok, but I'm going back to accubonds.
