Hey guys, in my search for 7 SAUM info it never seems I can find a load I can use to go off of whether it's someone else using different brass, powder, etc.

I'd like to keep this thread to strictly loads with H1000 and Hornady GAP 4S brass necked up to 7mm. If nothing else at least only loads using the same brass as there is a big difference in charges between the different brands of SAUM brass.
 
First one I'll list is my load with Berger 175 Elite Hunters.

Just finished my ladder test yesterday and from the numbers off my 3 weights I chronod it should be right at 2900fps which I have already found using Norma brass to be the best node for this barrel/bullet combo. Ran into pressure issues with that load because of brass thickness though and did not want to turn necks so I switched the the Hornady.

-Proof Research 26" Carbon Barrel
-Hornady GAP 4S brass necked up to 7mm
-Federal 215M
-64.2gr H1000
-2.97​​​0" base to tip
- Estimated 2900fps(will confirm soon)

​Did not see any signs of pressure until close to 65gr and at that it was a very faint mark from the ejector slot on the TL3.
