A good friend turned me on to Grand about the time Fotis did too! I have a tight chamber in this Fierce Edge 7 RM and looks like a fast 24" barrel. I can safely use 69.5gr in ADG brass/215M behind the 175 NP, for 3050fps average. I get right at .80-.9" or so out to 300 (my limit). A 200yd...

I've shot Speer HotCors since the '70s, great bullets. The 280 Ackley and 160 sptzer was wicked on a grown cow elk. The 170 HC in the 30-30 Ackley at 2450+ was awesome on a huge sow at 30yds. Elk capable for sure. Shot many of the 250gr sptzers in the 35 Whelen and in the 35 WAI. Used the 220fn...

I have been using RS Grand in ADG brass under the 175 NPT. I get a nice 1" group going 3050fps average. I have also tried RS Magnum behind the Sierra 175 SBT and get the same accuracy but at 2985. I would try either with the 150...just saying.

I shot it with the 110 Hammer in a 6.5 Creedmore. I also use it in the 30-06/150, its great stuff! It reminded me of how R17 and R26 worked.

I prepped and sorted the WW brass and went with RS Magnum. Hodgdon's Load Data said 71 was Max. I never ran into excess pressure even at 71. It did, however, do its best accuracy/speed with 70.5 at 2958fps and a rounded 1.1" group. I got way under an inch at 69.5, but speed was barely 2800. My...

I'm using ADG brass and Grand with the 175 NPT. I want to save those components and use the WW Brass and probably N560 or RS Magnum. I can interpolate though, thanks guys.

I have a wad of SS Win 1x fired brass and several good powders. I have some Grand Slams and Sierras, want to try and get them to 2900+. I'm thinking 62K? I'm looking for a good Practice load. I'm using ADG brass/175 NPT and Grand for now for cow elk. ( I like to thump them!) Any help...

Thank you Sir! I recently found a great deal (though not inexpensive!) on a Fierce Edge in 7RM. I sold my '06 and 338 in order to get it! ha However, the rifle is made in "Utah", God's Country, My Part of the Harvest Field! I've had a couple CA Mesa's too, also made in Utah. But I like this...

I need some load data with the N560/7mmRM and the 160/175 NPT? 24" bbl, 62K? Thanks!

OK then....just checking! :)

Does QL have the RS powder "Grand yet". I'm looking for 61K Grand/175 NPT, 24" 7mm RM?

The last critter I killed with my old 35 Whelen Ackley was the Eurasian hog up on the U.P., MI. I used the Woodleight 310 RN, man what a killer, made a silver dollar exist...at 35 yds. Blew chunks of Joy for 20feet! Love those Woodleighs...Or Hawks.

I "briefly" had a 358 Norma mag. I went through having it rebarreled, even shot it 10 times with DoubleTap 180 TTSX going 3100. Then I got clobbered by ObammaCare Extortion. Had to sell about everything I had. I figured I would "have a good chance" of being the only one the mountain with one, ha.

375-358 STW! I bet it ran with (or mabe more) the 375 RUM?

Last time I was there, 2002, we shot a fat Impala ewe and the Afrikaners cooked it all day long in a big smoker! Served with tons of Boer Vorst (sausage), and steak! Those Afrikaners eat more meat than anyone I ever met, ha!
