hey you fellas with the 7 rem mags , any of ya usin the ADI powders? if so which stuffs workin for 140gr -150gr ?
I used AR2213 with 150gn BTs.
2217
2213 or 2217 should be a good start mate. 2225 is on the money too but probably better if you’re in the 160gr range
Depends a bit on your barrel length - I use 2213 in mine, but 2209 is as accurate, just a tad slower.
Roger, innnteresting.
it is a Rem 700 sps, so i thiink 24 inch barrel on it.may even be 26? sorta wanting to shoot a decent bonded projie like a woodleigh out to 400 or so , reasonably flat as possible, not keen on the recoil as of yet so stayin with a 140gr for now, will be trying to load them fairly warm to make as big as improvement over the 7mm-08 as i can in terms of its trajectory..
itl do whats needed once it gets there, or hits the mark.
split on 2217, 2213sc, 2209 as can use in other Cartridges like the 3006? but if it is a bit slower, its not what im after really.
my 7-8 is around 2700 fps for bush stalkin, this thing needs to be in the 3-3100 bracket im thinkin
Federal fusion pills might be good for your purposes. I've another 'new to me' rem mag that ill run bare for general use. Ill prolly download 140s to ,~2900 or might go full load 120gr barnes.
I'm using win760 which is cheap here and I use it in other cartridges.
What animals and country are you hunting over there?
2213 with nosler 140gr
I was getting 3163fps with AR2213 and the 150gn Ballistic Tip from a standard 24" T3. Very accurate too.
2217 for 162s 22-24in.
2213 can work too, I’ve used it on shorter barrels. 18-22in.
22 inches Sako barrel and 162 eld -X
2213sc COAL 3.415
65gn 2782fts
65.5gn 2818fts
IMR8133 162 eld -x COAL 3.415
75.5gn 2957fts
75.8gn 2963fts
76.1gn. 2990fts.
Those three groups all under 3/4 MOA and no pressure sign.
IMR8133. 180 vld hunting
Coal 3.434
72.8gn 2827fts
73.1gn 2850fts
73.5gn 2865fts
2 inches groups
Rees, the 7mm RM with a 160 shoots like a 30/06 with a 180. You may as well load 160s and get what you paid for. Don't stand at the trough and try to dribble it out.
Rees if you want to go 140/150 gn weight have a play with the tsx and tsx. Driven hard they perform well and the RM can do that.
No thanks Dicko, im guna stand back an let it splash until it gets to the trough.. eh.
cheers legend
il be spewing if this 7rm shoots like a 3006 with 180gr i tell ya lol.
By shoots I meant similar recoil, not trajectory [emoji3]
oi so i ended up with 162 gr hornadys.... sst and eldx.... and also some 2213sc for starters.....
im already unsure on choice of 162gr as much improvement over the 708 140gr trajectory 400 or so out. il see how it all goes, if i can get in that 2900 bracket il be happy with 2213 an 26 inch tube... otherwise il give some lighter pills a whirl an test on game.
Should be a step up in terms of wind drift and energy on target.
2217 or 2225 will get you to 3000fps+
Easily :thumbsup:Quote:

Hey mate I'm getting around the 3000fps mark with 2213sc and 162 eldx. In my rifle it gave better accuracy than 2217 or 2225. You should be sweetQuote:

What charge weight and around 3000fps ????? So 2950fps or greater or less ? No hate genuine curiosity :thumbsup:Quote:

i dont think i'll ever really know, i have some fellas who use that quick load an can punch in details to get a ball park with tested bullet drops ,but thats about all it is i spose. ball park.1
from all of that me 7-08s around 2750 fps ish with 140s, mild load, from some testing with hold over it was around 40-45 inch drop at 400 meters, im usin a moa dial scope so im goin to start using yards now just to confuse the issue in name of fair chase, an i will be attempting to dial in the critters, so shouldnt be a issue if its 2850 or 2950 reallyyyyy , couple more clicks now, whereas with me hold overs... id want it flat as it could be an would proberly be better off looking lighter projies. but i am keen to try this dial stuff, 400 yards for a while etc,
alot of kiwi hunting is out at that 400 yards most times, 500 yards is all i will need :)
let yas know an il be sure to ask a few Qs
:D my bad, had a few beers and thought he was talking rem mag
no i am. 7 rem magQuote:

Cheers mate. Yea worked up with no pressure signs, surprised as you say since it's well over max. Tested some eldm the other day and looks like the sweet spot for that is around 70 grains
for the same amount of powder and similar speed you would have less pressure using 2225 or 2217 just my 2 cents again no hate :thumbsup:Quote:

and many people ive spoken to are runnin well over ADA max for 2213sc , this is not the first ive heard 69 gr pop up.. mostly chasen the velocity but also the pressure of 64gr max is not very high considering the cartridge limits? it seems.
lol, no hate.
thanks for the info Link!
Also the ADI powder is very difficult to acquire these days. local stores get 20kg at a time max from ada, an the last batch was in november? they had another batch a few weeks ago an its all spoken for.
the commons are snapped up, i luckily found a 2213sc, an a friend has 2217 , so, no hate, all very easy to switch out. swap around and test.
LOL i see
DANNY got banned....
NO hate.
ahhhh no he isn't :D :D :D :D :DQuote:

I used to load 65 grs of 2213 SC in my Rem 700 7 mm Mag with the 162gr Spire point and velocities sat around the 2950 fps. 69 grs sounds hot but if approached carefully would be ok. Around 3000 is a good speed.
