Thread: 7x64 loads

Welcome @7x64

Start with the 280 loads and work from there, as mentioned they are virtually identical.
I've used both 2209 and 2217 in mine (currently shooting 140 SSTs out of my Steyr)

As others have stated 280 loads are fine as starting point. I have tried various powders/loads from 2209, 2213sc, RL19 and 2215 on 140 gn AB's, 150 gn partitions & 154 SST's.
2217 gave me best results & accuracy but I'm still chasing more fps for my 30 yr old HEYM. Love the calibre

Thanks guys, I have a Steyr, with a barrel a shade under 24". Sounds like 2217 might be worth a look...
Will likely play with 140s at some point, although results with factory 162s look promising for now.

Also currently needs a new scope. That might be an even harder question!

No this isn't a hack but I'm back in hospital (bored) and thought I'd revive said thread.
Any updates on powder choices @7x64 and have you tried the 162 amax?
