[MAinAR]

With Hornady making 7 wsm brass that opens new window for my old flat top savage 7wsm, if anyone has time please run QL for me with RL 23. Thank You!!!

7WSM
140 AccuBond
24" Barrel
OAL 2.83
Fed GM215M primer

Run with RL 23 please.

I'm excited to build a load for this thing......

Would you consider another powder a better option??

 

[DrMike]

Would you consider another powder a better option??

You certainly have a lot of options, but case fill and velocities appear pretty good for that powder. Other options might include some from this list:

Cartridge          : 7 mm WSM
Bullet             : .284, 140, Nosler AccuBond 59992
Useable Case Capaci: 72.781 grain H2O = 4.726 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.860 inch = 72.64 mm
Barrel Length      : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 63250 psi, or 436 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

12 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

Despite the choices, RL23 would be a good choice. I may work up a few rounds with this powder, just to see what this load would do. I would expect pretty good accuracy.

Thank You!!

Would you consider another powder a better option??

RL26 is fairly WICKED in my 7mm WSM with 140 Partitions and BBC's. I am using about 68 grains of the stuff and accuracy is on point. My speed is also right at what Mike showed on the QL chart at 3300. It is a seriously sweet shooting load.

Then again, there isn't much I have ever shot from my 7mm WSM that hasn't shot really well. Super easy cartridge in my opinion.

Thank you I got them. Looks Like RL 26 is the one!
