Need Loads for 7mm WSM

[k80skeet]

I Just bought a new Savage 7mm WSM I need some good loads to start with. I know the Forum Boss asked for loads for the 300 WSM & 7mm WSM but most of the loads were for the 300WSM and hardley none for the 7mm WSM. There has got to be a few people out there that have the 7mmWSM. If you have anything that shoot real well I would love to have the load. Thanks.

Hunting or target?

 

[k80skeet]

Both at the Bench and in the woods. I shoot mostly at the bench except during hunting season. I could use all the loads that shoot tight little groups.

My hunting round is 140 Accubond with 63.5 IMR 4350 @ 3250 fps.
My long range round is 180 Berger VLD with 63.5 IMR 7828 @2890 fps.

Both of these rounds are close to max in my rifle so work up slowly.

I think there may be something to that 60.0 H4831SC with the 168 Berger. I am getting better than .5 moa with a 7mm SAUM in a sporter weight 700.

Try H1000
I'm getting very good results with the 162 amax
168vld and 175smk

I am using 68gr of RL25 behind a 180 berger for MY long range F-class rifle.

BUT ALWAYS start LOW and work up in YOUR rifle!

WW brass. CCI BR2, Barnes 140 gr TSX,68.8 gr RE19. 2.830" col, ~3200 fps. I find different lots of powder and different rifles in WSMs need to be approached individually with caution. I see as much as 3-4 grains difference between rifles or barrels.
