Another 155 hammer load

[Ofdscooby]

Tried some 155’s in my 7mm mag. I didnt get the speed but Damnn I got the accuracy. Retumbo got me at 2910 with an SD of 2. I pushed it faster but the accuracy went away. Three shots at a hundred.


Three shots at 625.

I have had times when I thought I found a load one day at the range. Then I go load up some more to test them farther out and it turns out it may have been a fluke. Yesterday on the return trip I dialed up a minute to zero at 200 and put the first two shots through the same hole. Then I dialed up to 625 and let three fly.

Dang! Good shooting!

Accuracy is the goal and speed is not everything. My guess is that any animal you shoot with that load will be just as dead as one that shoots 200 feet faster and you or the animal won't feel or know the difference except that you need to know the hold verticle wise.. I love speed but you gotta put it where it needs to be or it doesn't mean anything....

My 7mag loved the 155’s 3200” if I recall

That’s awesome maybe I need to push through to see if there is another node.

What is your charge weight ?

 

[Ofdscooby]

I think 70.5 of retumbo but I gotta check the book

I have 2 loads for my 7 Rem Mag.
145 LRX at 3130 and 162 ELDx at 3030.
Both are very accurate and both with Retumbo. Charges are hotter than what you are shooting.
