    7wsm 162 Amax, 4831SC Max Load

    I am trying to hit some real velocity with a 22.5" barrelled 7wsm. So far with 64 gns of 4831sc under a 162 Amax, I have reached a consistent 2835, without pressure--and great accuracy. I want to juice it up a bit more and I'm curious as to what others have found to be a max pressure load using...

    General accuracy load question

    I realize this is a very general question, but. The load manuals always show a wide range of charge weights. Are the loads usually more accurate in the middle of the range shown, near max, or is evrry single barrel that different. I need to work a load up. I have some SMK Palma 155gr bullets...

    Range Report When will I need to change my load?

    I've got a 7mmRM with a 26" and am thinking of cutting it down. I currently reload for this rifle with 65gr of RL22 behind 168gr VLDs. I'm thinking of cutting back to 20" and putting a can on it. Will I still be ok, or will I need to switch to a faster burning powder? I just don't want to end up...

    What to do when the load your rifle loves sucks?

    Ok, so here's the problem. My current load is SMK 175 gr. HPBT, 43.4 gr. IMR 4064, CCI BR2 Primer, all in a Federal Case. This is running around 2600 FPS and will get me out to 1000 yards which is my absolute finite distance requirement. The problem is it doesn't group extremely well out of my...
