7mm Remington Ultra Mag / rl-25!

[6BR4U2]

Very little information about this overbore round out...I have been doing some cold weather shooting in a true hunting rig...

Rl-25 has been showing excellent results anyone have any experience with this ultra mag...

felt recoil seems to be less than the 300 ultra's I have shot and the very high BC's are going to be great...

yea I've reloaded the brother-inlaws 7mm Ultra-Mag, Rem.700 LSS with IMR 7828 with awesome results, also Retumbo worked very well too. IMR 7828 3-shot group @100yds covered w/a nickel.
Using 140gr Nosler Combined-Tech. Ballistic Silver Tip.
I put the 100yd zero at 1.5 high and thats pretty flat to 300yds. Brother-inlaw proved it in West TX at his lease.
Just shot 2 White-tailed does Sunday with my .308 with the same bullet in .30 caliber and exist holes in the neck were in the 1" range at 100yds. That's hitting neck bones and bullet seperation. I'm happy and pleased with bullet.

Well I went out and crony'd today with 91.0 of rl 25
and a 162 a max. I'm getting and ave 3425 fps and decent ES
for a hunting rig so with a about a 300 yd zero I'm about 15 moa to a 1000...no signs of pressure at all and it's agg is better than 88 or 90.0 grns AOL is 3.679 .... I must have a chamber that had a sharp reamer, and a half decent factory barrel because it took very little to get it to shoot very well. I couldn't be happier. I have some 7828 and was going to try h-1000 or retumbo however right off the RL 25 is what this particular barrel likes

Using H1000 and Retumbo with the 160gr. Accubonds with some pretty good groups in a friends 700 LSS. Still working on it to improve them. I will check with RL powder too as have been meaning to give that a try as well.

After some phone calls to powder companies and some BR shooters and
searching the net I still didn't know ... RL 25 was definitely on the list and it's great in my BR guns and its was amazing what the immediate results have been both by the powder and "stock iron"
good luck, its tossing about a .625 BC @ 3425 fps, not bad....
