I'll chime in on this somewhat old thread for more powder choices for the 7mm SAUM. I am currently using Nosler 150 grain ballistic tips, with H4831 powder. I would like to see loads for Ramshot Hunter, as it is somewhat less expensive here locally. Have heard good reports on it as well. IMR...

remingtonman, I am still thinking about using RL-22 in my 7mm SAUM. Have you given any thought to buying a 5lb can of RL-22 instead of 1 pound at a time? This would reduce this amount of times you have to start low, and then work back up to a new load with each new can of powder. This is what...

Skeeter, no H4831 is working fine. I am just an Alliant powder junkie, as I use Unique, Blue Dot, and 2400 for my .41 mag loads. They all work great. I have a couple pounds of RL-19 on hand that are from the same lot, bought at the same time. I just thought I might try RL-22 to see how it...

Thanks remingtonman. Sounds like RL-22 might be a waste of time, as I'm looking for consistency, instead of headaches. I use a lot of Alliant powder for my .41 magnum handguns, and they seem to work fine in that application. Guess I'll stick to H4831 in my 7mm SAUM, and may pick up the SC...

Hi all. Been a while since I've posted here. Anyhow, I'm needing a starting load for Alliant RL-22 in the 7mm SAUM. I'm shooting 150 Nosler ballistic tip bullets, and using Winchester WLRM primers. My Nosler #5 manual has data for the 160 and 175 grain bullets using RL-22, but not for the 150...

I spoke with Dave at Hodgdon/IMR a while ago. I mentioned to him my new ruger 7 saum and asked what powder he recommended for the Nosler 150 grain ballistic tip. He suggested IMR 7828/7828SSC. I think I will give this a go. I had thought that 7828 would be too slow for my shorter barrel, but he...

Hi everyone. I just recently purchased a Ruger 77 mark 2 chambered in 7mm SAUM. I am going to load 150 grain ballistic tips for it, and have Alliant RL-19 on hand. My Nosler #5 manual lists H4831SC as being the most accurate powder. Should I give RL-19 a try first, or go with the H4831SC? My...

Hi guys. I went hunting this past Saturday. Same load and rifle. Had a 3 point whitetail come in at about 35 to 40 yards. Shot him behind the left shoulder, quartering away. Very small entrance wound, fell in his tracks. No tracking necessary. However, when I skinned him out, you would have...

HI guys. I just wanted you to know you are correct about the 7mm 140 grain ballistic tip in the 7mm Rem mag. I shot my first deer on Monday morning(opening day here in western NC). He was a 7 point buck, and I took him at about 65 to 70 yards. High lung shot about 6 inches below top of his back...

Hi Guys. I just wanted you all to know I shot my Weatherby Vanguard Sporter today with great results. I loaded up some Nosler 140 grain ballistic tips with 63.5 grains of RL-19(this is a published load in my Nosler #5 manual). I used winchester WLRM primers, and the groups were outstanding. I...

We need a .30 caliber accubond in the 125 grain weight. This would be the ultimate whitetail bullet in the .308 or .30-06. Thanks. Howard. :grin:

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input. I have almost 3 lbs of RL-19 in my loading room, and will try that to start. I also plan to get a pound of RL-15 to try too. I think both should work well, or at least, that is my hopes. Thanks again, and keep the suggestions coming. Also, have...

I am needing some suggestions for suitable powder for my Remington 700 CDL in 7mm-08 Remington caliber. 24" barrel. Will be using a Rem case, and have plenty of RL-19 on hand. Want to use either a 140 or 150 grain Nosler BT, or the 140 Accubond. Thanks in advance. Howard.

NOSLER, I'd really like to see you offer .280 Remington brass, and also .41 Remington magnum. My two favorite calibers of them all. Thanks.

Matt, I used a pocket knife to cut a notch in the stock. The lower part of the safety is what caused the problem, located on the right hand side of the trigger housing. The cut I made was about 3/8" wide, and about 1/4" deep, near the rear bedding surface of the stock. It really doesn't look...

Matt, first, I want to say thanks for the update on the Bell and Carlson medalist stock. That eases my mind if I do decide to replace the stock on my vanguard. Second, the Timney was a drop-in fit. Just remove the 1 screw that fastens the factory trigger to the action. Remove factory...

Thanks Matt, I appreciate the information. I'll be looking forward to hearing about the bedding of the stock, as well as the fit and pressure points(or the lack thereof). I also would like to add that if you haven't already installed a Timney trigger in you rifle, you should give it a close...

Matt, I too am wanting to replace my walnut stock on my Weatherby Vanguard sporter with a Bell and Carson Medalist stock. I had some conflicting information about the bedding. I have narrowed my choices down to either the Weatherby Acuguard stock(full length bedding aluminum bedding block) or...

Thanks again Nosler. I'll load up some with both brands of primers to see which is more accurate. Also planning on trying alliant RL-19 per the #5 manual. Also may try imr 4350, but would rather use RL-19 because it meters better in my uniflow measure. Any comments? Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I thought that the 150 grain data would be OK, but just wanted to be sure. One more thing, why do you prefer the winchester LR primer over the others. Being I have both the winchester LR and the CCI200, I was just curious. Thanks again.
