Ramshot Grand. 7mm Rem Mag

[Bruce Mc]

Finally got to the range today to give Ranshot Grand a try in the 7mm Rem Mag. I think it has a lot of possibility here.

JD those accubonds were "Red Devils"

 

[JD338]

For sure Bruce. You are getting some decent speed too!

Looks pretty good to me! Are you going to shoot some groups next? If I wasn’t so deep in H1000…I’d definitely be trying Grand out.

Yep, I can't stuff enough H-1000 in the case to get the velocity Grand shows right off with room to spare.

 

[NYDAN]

Man, that looks like a lot of potential. I will have to keep Grand in mind for my 7mm's.

Darn it! I hate when new powders come out and you fellas get great stuff right out of the gate. That’s nearly Mashburn speeds with the 160’s Bruce. My original load was 75.5 of H 1000 for 3200 with a 160 Nosler.

 

[JD338]

Makes me wonder how this powder would work in the 280AI.

I have tried Grand with my Tikka 7MM Rem Mag. I have not gotten the speeds you have but I have gotten the best velocity I have ever gotten out of my rifle. My tikka only has a 24 inch tube so I typically do not get the same velocities as others but I am very impressed with the speed and accuracy out of the gate with Grand.

Mine is a Win M70 with a 26" barrel.

Nice shooting, I may like to try RamShot in the 300 Win Mag when I run out of H1000.

Good to see the solid base are working for you.
I was wondering how they would do.
Might have to give them a try here.

The 162 solid base is a sentimental favorite of mine. It was my go do load for 7mm mag with IMR-7828 up until they discontinued the solid base. I've taken dozens of deer with that combo. Alas, now I can't get 7828, but this Grand may be even better.

If I shoot the barrel out on this Tikka I will re-barrel it with a 26" barrel. This rifle shoots extremely accurate just a bit slower than most 7 mags. I know the old saying holds true "It doesn't matter how fast you miss" but I like to get magnum speeds out of a magnum caliber.
