That's not bad for 50 yds!
I’m experimenting with sciroccos. I haven’t heard much of people using them so I thought I’d be the outlaw. Bought some 4831SC and IMR 4350 to mess around with, Peterson brass and remington primers. Won’t have a field report for a bit but I’ll follow-up later on this month.
I do have some H1000 but it works good with my 300 WBY so I’m trying to save it. I may try a few with it just to see what it does. The 4350 was what’s on the shelf. I do have high hopes for the 4831SC.I'd tend to agree with 300stw.
Vihtavouri N550, N565, N570, IMR7828, Retumbo, H1000 would do you better than IMR4350.
The 4831 would be close to RL19 burn wise.
Not the highest velocity, but decent accuracy.
RL23 and RL26 are good for the bullet weight, but finding any is hard to say the least.
Hope you get better results than I did. I couldn’t make those group well, but I didn’t load off the lands either. Probably why.So, i was tinkering around the reloading area the other day.
Ran across some 168gr Berger Classic Hunter and 2lbs of Ramshot LRT.
Ran the numbers through Quick Load for the Rem Mag and the WBY Mag.
I think I'm going to give this combo a try.
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.
I can load to the lands in both my Rem and WBY Mag and fit in the magazine.Hope you get better results than I did. I couldn’t make those group well, but I didn’t load off the lands either. Probably why.
Or a 160 Accubond and RL-22. mtmuleyIf you aren’t seeing pressure signs keep adding h1000. If you want to try something different. I’ve never seen a 7mm Remington not shoot IMR7828 underneath a 150 grain ballistic tip
Yeah...Or a 160 Accubond and RL-22. mtmuley
ive shot 7mm 150 sierra boat tails for years...my 1962 rem 700 loves them...use 66 grains of 4831...chrono sez 2875...5 elk 2 oryx and 10 deer and antelope...my gripe is they dont go through giving 2 blood exits...the bullets are doing what they were designed to do and have found them under the hide on the off side numerous times...problem is they go in leaving a pencil size hole that is sealed of by tissue then bleed internally, no blood trail...i totally understand and see the damage internally by the bullet leaving all its energy in the animal but sometimes the animal does not visually react to the bullet, elk and oryx are tough... ive seen them totally collapse on a marginal shot but other times they act like nothing happened ...my wife shot an oryx that left no blood trail, found it after extensive searching that other hunters might not have done...upon gutting the top half of his heart was gone... when someone else is shooting your gun you dont know if they made a good shot...have lost 1 deer in west texas due to spoilage cuz i thought the guy missed, they can spoil overnite cuz it doesnt cool down ...my grandson shot a good muley with me, ran into some weeds where it couldnt leave without us seeing it...took us a long time to find it, excellent shot just a little blood out his mouth no trail...going moose hunting in wy, soo im gonna load 150 cx hornady...saving some sierra loads in case the cx dont groupI have a 7mm RM load developed for the Hornady CX-150 with H4831SC. Getting 3160 fps (avg) and 0.51 MOA (max) over a 40-round load confirmation cycle. I seat 0.015 off the lands.
Dang that is a purdy gun.
