7 RSAUM loads

[sewwhat89]

Anyone want to share their loads for a 7 RSAUM? I have some 162 gr AMAX, 162 gr SSTs, 168 gr SMKs, 175 gr SMKs and probably some 160 gr NABs. Thanks in advance.

57.5 - 58 gr of H4831SC with a CCI BR-2 Primer and bullets in the 175-180 gr range worked very well in the two barrels I have chambered in 7mm RSAUM

I have had so much accuracy luck with the 140 grain Ballistic Tip over 61.2 grains of H-4350 and F210 primers in my stock 700BDL I see no need to change unless I was going to shoot really long range.
This load at 3100 + will do 1 hole groups at 100 yards any old day, and will flat out tip a deer over right now...........

Well, I just bought a couple hundred 150 gr NBTs for plinking and stuff and some 140 gr NPs for point-blank deer.

Should be able to get to the range Monday or Tuesday to get her broke-in and sighted-in as well as do some load testing if time permits.

I am thinking about using H4350 and H4831sc for the 140s, H4831sc for the 150s and H1000 for the 162 gr+. For the 50 or so 175 gr SMKs, I will try out some Retumbo.

It looks like I will have a minimum of four ladder tests to shoot. Should be a fun day at the range! Thanks guys!

rcw3 what speeds were you getting

I'am using H-1000 at 67.0 grains with federal 210M primers and 162 grain A-Max seated hard in the lands. work up to this load with "caution" it is compressed. They shoot in the 2's at 200 yards in my sleeved Remington 700 Heavy bench gun with a 30 inch Krieger with a 1 in 9 twist with a .315 neck.

spinx very nice shooting .can anyone tell me what kind of speed they are getting with a 180gr berger.spinx what are you gettig with a 162.

I'm using 62.3gr of RL25 with the Berger 180s, Russian mag primers 28" Kreiger 9 twist, COAL 3.035. Velocity 2980fps.

 

[sphinx]

With the 162's in my 30 inch barrel the average velocity was 3015 fps. I shot a buck with it during dear season off my bench, It never flinched or moved just collapsed dead.

Im geting a 7saum built and it should be done by late spring. Sounds like its gonna be all I`m hoping for velocity wise. Will be shooting mine through a Broughton 28"5c... I picked up some brass last weekend and I`m really impressed with what I got, 50cs 90% within 1.5grs, a few were 1gr less and all were between .004 with longest 2.031. The Norma 6br brass I`ve got wasnt that good.

Whats the case life like? I never really liked the rem 7rm brass much cuase it didnt last long. I hope this stuffs better.
Are those loads in the last few posts max or just warm???

Thanks, Patchhound.

My load was max in my rifle.

My load was also a max load, I'am getting a .005 stretch on each firing, I have only reloaded mine 5 times so far.
