7 Rsaum powder recommendations!

[Coyotecreek]

I've got a reamer ordered for this build and who knows how long that's gonna take, hopefully have it by mid December. In the mean time I've started to gather stuff for it. So far I have federal primers, I've got some CCI primers, some mag, some regular. I've got ADG brass. This will be a combo of hunting and competition rig. I've got a 284 and a dasher as well but wanted to try something different. The bullets are 180 hybrids and 180 VLD hunting. I've got plenty of H4350 but not sure that'll work. So help me out guys.

I've tried the search function but a lot of post are 5-8 years old. I know technology moves fast.

Thanks

Oh yeah, the barrel is a heavy varmint 8 twist Brux. will finish at 28". Defiance action.

H-4350 will work, but the slower powders will probably work better...
H4831 and H-1000 work for mine..

 

[Ackley Kid]

Reloader 23 works well , similar to H 4831 but delivers more velocity.

 

[Liven The Dream]

H 4831SC was outstanding in my Rifle

My rifles have really liked RL-26 BUT if you don't have it on your shelf it's non-existent. A guy I know loves MagPro with standard primers. Quite a few guys use H-4831 but I couldn't get the speed out of it. You'll probably see more H-1000 loads posted than anything else and many have good results with it. Shot good in my rifles but RL-26 was better by a tick.

H4831sc and it is showing in stores.

 

[Dgd6mm]

H1000 shot in mine with 180 gr. bullets.

 

[rhovee]

RL16,RL23,H1000 in that order. Great node at 2900 with multiple powders.

 

[whatwind?]

N165

 

[PRECISIONWELDING01]

H4350

Mine loved RL26 with 197s. However its currently shut down as it developed the worst carbon ring I've ever seen. I'm on like my 3rd product trying to get rid of it. Hopefully I can get it shooting again.

Keep at it, you'll get it. Carbon rings are not indestructible.

I have two hunting rifles chambered in 7 Saum, both have seen a lot of use. H4831SC, 180 hunting VLDs, CCI 250 have works well for me in both rigs, both have the same chamber. The link below is from this site, it might help get you started.

For the European shooters listening in; N165, N565, N568 or RS76. My choice is RS76 with 190 gr LRHT for bullet speed, barrel eating speed and precision but my mate uses N565. He beats me on comps but he is the better shooter.

Happy shooting and hunting Mats

H4350 , H4831sc ,rl16, rl23

I usually compare 7SAUM load data for my 280 AI when I cannot find a bullet weight/powder listed for the 280. Both have essentially the same cartridge capacity. I have used Staball and 4350 for the lighter bullets. In the 180 class I use IMR 7828 and H4831. I get about 2850fps with 58 grains of 4831 with the Hybrid. It’s LONG,
about 3.630” at 10 off the lands. I’ve pushed it over 3000 but it’s tough on brass. I could not get Magpro to group, but I was fighting a bad carbon ring. May try it again (next barrel). I had a good load for the 180 VLD hunters, 58.0 of 7828. In my barrel that bullet liked to jump about 50.

I had 2, a short action that I ran 168 Bergers in loved 4831sc. Won me a 1950 yard comp. Long action with the 180s loved H-1000.

 

[MiiisterAnderson]

Another vote for H4831SC. I've got a mild load pushing the 175 Berger Elite hunters at 2813 fps. My last chrono check before mule deer hunting this season showed 3/5 rounds at 2813 fps and the other 2 very close to it. I've found it to be very consistent.

 

[Preacher]

If you can find it, H100V works very well with 140 gr bullets....
60 grains will do 3000 fps easy...
