150 ABLR in 7 Mag

[TackDriver284]

I have a box of 150 ABLR and different powders but cannot settle on a certain powder for the 7mm Magnum. I kicked the 168 Berger VLD Hunt off my list after using up the last box and won't be trying it again in the future. There is many mixed reviews about the Bergers penciling through animals, partial expansion and loss of tracked animals. I rather stick with a premium hunting bullet like the AccuBond or Partitions. My 300 loves the 180 AccuBond with RL-22.

Does anyone have a certain powder that your 7 Mag likes that fits perfectly with the 150 ABLR? I have Alliant 19, 22, 25, H4831, H4831SC, H1000, MR4000, Enduron 7977, IMR4350, IMR7828, Retumbo and a few others.

I'm working with H4831 right now with the 150 Swift Scirocco II, going to do some testing in the 66-67.5 level here right off, 63 entered one hole but we're only going 2925. Hopefully in the next few days going to go test them out. The 180 ELD-M was disappointing in higher velocities on water jugs, dumping energy quickly, entering a third jug but not really exiting, so going to work the the Scirocco some.

22, 7828, H4831SC and IMR4350 would all be my picks for first loads.

I tried the 150 ABLR with just about everything, no luck. Then I tried MagPro with a 160 AccuBond. Great accuracy and right at 3k velocity.

If you want a higher BC, look at the 162 ELD-X. I'm getting 2957 fps with H1000 and a little over half inch groups.
