lochsaelk · Feb 27, 2007

I just purchased a ruger 7mm wsm and am compiling all the reloading info I can get. does anyone have any info they will share with me? I am really excited about starting over with a new rifle and new loads.

What weight of bullet you plan on using?? Check out www.reloadersnest.com They should have some data.

You should also check the various powder manufacturers websites, as well as bullet manufacturers websites. I know Speer has data on their site. Other manufacturers may, as well. If you have questions about their loads, you can rely on Western Powders (Accurate & RamShot) to answer fairly promptly, and they can provide some great guidance for their powders. Nosler may also provide data here on the forum, but I haven't checked for 7WSM, so I can't say for sure.

Welcom to the forum. You should easily be able to reproduce 7mm Rem Mag loads. With the 160 accubonds and RL22 I got 3050 fps and 1/2 MOA.
Start at like 58 gr and work up. This was out of my 23" bbl browning a bolt. Just hammers them!

Good deal. I have a 7 RM which is about the same as a 7 WSM. I use mine on everything from coyotes to elk. You shouldn't be dissapointed.

My 7m/m WSM is a Browning A-Bolt with a 22 barrel. My load is a 139 gr Hornady with 75.2 grains of Ram Shot Magnum powder. Tried most of the other powder and couldn't get any volocity out of it. Bought a pound of the Magnum and that lit the fuse a little better. Groups real well also.
