Loading the 7mm RUM

[Guest]

Anyone have any experience with the 7RUM good or bad?
I have found it to be accurate ,powerful and an excellent Elk caliber with the 160 ABs.
Why no info in the Nosler book?

94 gr of Retumbo behind the 160 AccuBond works extremely well in my 7mm ultra.

NTM,

What velocity do you get with that load? How long is your gun's barrel?


Happy New Year,

Tom

I haven't chrono'd it but hodgson claimed around 3350fps out of a 24" barrel. I have a 26" barrel on my savage so theoretically I should get around 3400fps. I hope to chrono it later this year-I'll get back to you on it.

Am loading 140gr ballistic tip with 94 grains of H1000 using CCI mag primers. 3 shot string average of 3313 fps out of a 26in 700 bdlSS.
