Is anyone using ramshot's magnum powder in a 7mm rem mag/ 160gr. accu-bonds. what velocity's are you chronographing with it.
 
I'm using IMR 4831 powder with 175 grain Speer Mag Tip and it shoots really well in my 7Mag. I'm using this load to hunt deer. I have a Ramshot load chart and you should be able to use 71.2 grains of Ramshot Magnum powder to achieve 2947 FPS with this load.
 
I've used h-4831 lot's in the past always worked fine I just got sick of the metering issues, my last 2 loads that I worked up were with rl-22 & imr 7828ssc. They definetly metered better, but I was not impressed with the 7828 velocities (low) and although I had no trouble with the rl -22 they claim it is temp sensitive. Being in Canada during rifle season it can be anywhere from +10 *C to - 35*C some times with in the same day the temp can very that much, not often but it has happend. The Ramshot web sight had data for a 160 gr tsx and a162gr hrndy a-max. I believe the a-max is closer to an accu-bond for B.C. and legnth, and starting at min load could work up aload from that data, I was hoping some one uses it and has a load and could also comment on metering and any temp problems. Plus I was at a gun show and at 25$/lb I thought it was agood buy. I also picked up 2 more boxes of accu-bonds at 28$/50 not bad for canada's prices.They wanted 48$ for 160gr parts for 50.
 
super-7,

I worked up one load using Magnum, though I used 175 grain PTs. Velocity was excellent and accuracy was very good. I haven't worked up a load using the 160 grain AB as yet. I use the 7mm RM as my "heavy seven."
 
I would be interested in what you find out with Magnum,, 160 AccuBond work. I will be using the same bullet in mine but really have not started working up any loads as of yet.

I'll be working on a couple of loads with the magnum powder , allthough not for a while still catching up at work. when I get some spare time I'll work some up tough going to the range when it's -20* C right now.
