I use R26 with a 160 accubond, but 7828ssc was outstanding as well. I’m pretty sure it will be easier to find than R26. My buddy shoots that bullet in his but he also uses a pixy dust powder. Hard to find R23. You’ll like the caliber. I love mine, 4 elk, 1 deer, 1 hog and 1 coyote under its...
Not sure I want to do this but I need to let it go, great condition Ruger All weather matte stainless, laminate stock 22 Hornet. This gun is in great condition, a real tack driver as well. Amazing light crisp trigger. Will include a box of Hornady Varmint express ammo, a hair over 200 new WW...
Thanks guys I hope it’s something I can help another hunter/shooter with. It really is a great rifle in a great cartridge! Hard to find a better deer rifle!
I have a like new Win Model 70 Featherweight in a 7mm-08. This gun has been fired less than 80 rounds. Never hunter only to the range a couple times. Just haven’t taken the time to get it dialed and hunted with. I got the gun from a good friend. I know it shot a 3 shot 120 ttsx around an inch...
I appreciate everyone’s input but I’m still looking for some quick load data even if it’s kinda generic. My nephew has my brass tumbling them so I can’t get a h2o capacity.
Thanks
Pretty close to the same load I’m using. It’s a hammer. I hope it works for you in your rifle. In my AI I’m shooting Remington fireformed 280 rem brass, rem9.5 mag primer. 60.5 gr of R26 and the 160 Accubond. 25” barrel cooking along at 3065fps. It’s under 1/2” and will fill the freezer fast.
Thanks Texas, I have seen the little bit of Nosler data, I don't have access to a Hornady book. Just hoping for a little bit more info. I hear of guys using H1000, Rl26 etc but there's no data that I have seen.
I'm In the process of putting together another hunting rig. Its a 7mm SAUM in a Remington Model Seven. 22" barrel.
There's not a ton of published data out there so I was wanting a little help/guidance. I have the following components, and these I'd like to try.
Powders: RL26, IMR 7828SSC...
