7 mag pet loads - 01/29/16 09:35 PM
Need some pet loads been a long time since ive loaded for one. Its a 1-9 twist. Currently barrel likes 150 sirrocos not sirocco II's and 61gr H4831. Want an alternative to the sirroco. Tried accubond LR 150gr and didnt like them with 61gr h4381.

26" "Light Palma" contour, spiral fluted.
180 gr Berger VLD Hunting, even with the lands.
CCI 250
H-Retumbo 71.2 gr
Berger's website says a 1:9" will stabilize the 180 gr. Ease into that powder charge, it's pretty stout, and I occasionally get an extractor swipe.

Thanks fireman, ill have to pick up a box. All i have on hand currently is 140 Nosler Ballistic Tip and 150gr Accubond LR's. Havent had a 7mm in a longgg time.
The 150gr sirocco's shot excellent over 61gr H4831sc. Gonna try 64.5gr RL-22 and 150gr accubonds, and some 7977 with 150gr accubonds tomorrow.

Not mine, I guess someone at Sierra. I have shot some 5 shot groups at 200 that are actually smaller.
