Reloader 25 & 7 RSAUM

[brxbrad]

I can get my hands on a couple of Jugs. I'm looking for opinions and load values for a 7RSAUM. Anyone having any luck with this powder?

Current setup
1:9 Bartlein .312 neck.....
180 VLD's
62 grs of H1000 .002 off the lands
Tula Primers
Nosler Brass

I'm just starting load development so all options are open...

I didn't have good luck with it with the 180gr berger. Win 780 Supreme works better.

Might be ok for the 168grs.

I think the 1-9" might be on the slow side for 180's. That's what I shot F-Open with last year. Switched to a 1-8" this year. Much better. If you run the numbers thru a stability calculator the 180/1-9" combo can be marginally stable.

My 24" 1-9 Krieger stabilizes the 180 gr Bergers and SMKs just fine. I couldn't get anything else to shoot actually, tried 162 Amaxs, 168 Bergers and 175 SMKs.
I am shooting the 7 wsm.
PGWDTI Coyote action (repeater)
180 gr SMK (or Berger if I have no SMKs)
66.6 gr RL 25
0.090" off the lands
Winchester brass
Fed 215M primer
2875 fps
0.3 MOA

Went to the range yesterday and did some testing. Shot 61.5 and 62 grains of H1000 seating the 180's all the way from .002 to .050 off the lands. Best group was .5 MOA at 200 yds with 61.5 .020 off the lands. Avg Speed 2950 with ES 4fps and 1 SD. I'm going to retest that load due to high heavy mirage while testing. Maybe it was me. I would have thought I would have better grouping with those numbers.

I'm still wondering about other shooters results using Reloader 25. Is it temperature sensitive? Load Values etc.

Thanks for the responses
