7BR LOADS

I have used the search function but still limited info. My setup is in a 23" rifle barrel but any load info would be good if you have any. Thanks in advance.
 
I knew I forgot something. It's an 8.5 twist setup for 140's. The bottom of the bullet sits at the neck shoulder junction. I will primarily use for hunting but will also use for the occasional long range steel just for fun.
 
Sierra makes a 130 that is built for moderate velocity 7mm deer it is great

use 2015 and seat with .020 jump - I shot sil with one and took it deer in season. very deadly - xp100 15" bbl hart

i have used the sierra 130gr specialty pistol bullet on elk. performance was less than great, all the animals went down quickly but the bullets did not perform as desired. one was a heart shot at about 220yds, the bullet took off the top of the heart, and i recovered it. it was bent like a banana with no mushroom at all. i had several pass throughs, including one cow elk shot at over 400 yards. it could be that i was not running them fast enough. i called sierra to talk with them about it, and was told that that bullet was too small for elk.

i was using an xp-100.
 
I had a 7br rifle for hi-power silhouette and I loaded varget powder for both the 130 and 168 gr SMK and I used the same powder charge for both bullets. I don't remember the load as I sold the gun and I don't have my loading notes. My gun was a rifle with a 26 inch barrel.
