7mm saum load

[No i deer]

Has anybody tested the 7mm saum with N555 and 195gr elite hunters.
An f class load for a 30 inch barrel..
Currently using 59.5grs of N165 and wondered if the N555 would give extra velocity.

Just curious, what’s your velocity with N165

 

[No i deer]

Winter to summer 2750 to 2835fps

62.5gr of N560 works well in mine. Half moa or better at 2943fps with Berger 180s.

Mine will send the 180s at 2950fps on 62.3grs of N165

I’d look into N565 or R26 if your wanting more speed but in reality 2800ish isn’t bad.

My normal 190/R26 load with 195’s got me 2830 with a 28”, step on it a bit and I’m confident 2850 is doable without pressure issues.

I normally run 190’s at 2880’s.

RL26 with 197s shot great in mine until a carbon ring shut it down.

Would RL 26 be to slow with a 180 hybrid?

No.
It’s excellent.

That’s a good speed for 180’s and N165 is a pretty friendly powder.

Thank you Sir for your response.
