7mm rem mag

[jamesp]

I'm about to start load development with my 7mm rem mag. 26" barrel with 160g AccuBond. Powders of which I have are H1000 and H4831sc. Anyone use these combos? Load data would be appreciated! :grin:

I've had good luck with the 160g AB and H1000 and R19. Sweet spot in my 700 was near the high side of the listed powder charge.

Around 70g of H1000

Sorry, my only experience is 160 ABs & IMR 4350.
But I am sure someone will be able to help you out :wink:.
PS. Welcome to the forum, I hope that you enjoy our company.

RL 22 is also an excellent powder choice.

My best groups and velocity in the 7mm Rem Mag with 160 Partitions have been with IMR 7828 SSC.

I found H-1000 to be a consistent powder, much more so that Re-22. It will vary some from lot to lot but it will be very consistent within that lot. Here is a group I shot when I finally worked out this load.

Bruce that is a very good group. I have a Buddy here in Regina that uses H-1000 and has been very happy with the accuracy. I am not so sure that he could get a group like the one you produced, cause if he did I would have seen & heard about it :lol:.
That is excellent shooting!!!

Blessings,

H1000 and 160 grain bullets is a "go to" combination for me in the 7 RM.

This picture make me try H1000!
Great shooting, Vodek

67.9 gr H1000 and the 168 VLD has been outstanding for me, so I'd look there with the 160 AccuBond. I've also seen absurd accuracy with RL-22 and 160-162 grain bullets. It'd be one of those two powders for me...

H4831 was my go to powder for years in the 7mm rem mag. 3000fps is about where you will get with it using a 160gr. Max load will be 65-66gr and is generally in the 2950-3050 fps range out of a 24"-26"

The experience with RL-22 has been generally much slower than what is in the reloading manuals for several different rifles, but H-1000 in the 7mm Rem Mag is great. I've ran with 69gn in my 140gn Sierra Game Kings and they'll make a big, ragged hole at 200 yards.

I shoot 63.3 grains of H4831 behind a mollied 160 grain AccuBond, CCI large rifle mag primers.
I don't have any pictures but the results are the same as the target shown above.
I don't own a chrono so I can't say what the speeds are out of a 24" barrel.
Good luck finding that perfect load, It is the favorite part of my reloading.
