Thread: 7mm Rem Mag- Load- Starting Point

I'm trying to replicate (roughly) the Federal hybrid hunter factory ammo, as it seems to shoot well in my rifle, but can't get any in the country at the moment!
What sort of range are you getting out of the noslers @gonetropo?

well my best shot was a hare at 983m ( though it did take several rounds to get the bugga)
i no longer have reloading gear so as i get thru the rounds you are welcome to the empties

right so you keep ONE factory round aside...set up your dies for length/seating depth with it...giving you same or VERY similar bullet jump you are half way there.... velocity will be somewhere between 3/4 and maximum...being a factory loading it wont be super hot and being federal shouldnt be too mild.... you could if you happend to know what powder was used in factory load pull a round and measure it.... or if had chronicgraph fire factory load and keep going with reload till find same velocity...... or just put a not too hot load together and go shoot something.

Federal will be mixing powders to get a 'secret recipe' I would imagine-
Yea going to just work up load to same (or very similar but maybe slightly higher) velocity as you say.
