Ramshot Grand. 7mm Rem Mag

[Bruce Mc]

Bruce, Did you have a QL for this ? If so how does it compare to your results?

I don't think grand is in ql yet. I went by data on Hodgdons web site and worked around. I'd sure like to see a quick load on them. Both bullets showed a significant increase in velocity from 72.5 to 73.0 grs of powder. I'd guess that's somewhere near max. Hodgdon showed 73.0 max but with different bullet.

Yes, i forgot that its not on QL yet. Have you decided on a load ?

I'll likely load up some 162 gr solid base with 72.3 grs to check on consistency. I'm setting up my 7mm mag for a second rifle this season and plan on using the solid base bullet.

That should be telling, Smart to have a back-up rifle. Bailed out a few friends that did not...lol

sorry to wake up an old thread but in my quest to never recover another fired round, I am currently working up a load for a new to me 7mag. I have found GRAND to be “THE” powder. I’m launching a 175 ABLR at 3060ish out of a 26 inch barrel. Now being that I have zero pressure sign checked with a mic at the belt. I just need to either start fiddling with seating depth until I get these groups down to where I want them and be ok or chase the 3100 I know it’s capable of. I just don’t know how far I want to push it. All data was collected at 6200 feet above sea level.
