    Loading Sako A7 mm REM Mag using AR2217 powder

    I'm loading some rem mag ammo for my Sako A7 using AR2217 powder and 162 ELD-X projectiles, once fired Federal brass and Federal 215M primers.

    I was wondering if anyone has used this powder before or has a recipe for this kind of load?

    First time out testing different weights of powder I shot 68, 68.5 and then 69 and got good groups from each. Best (0.5MOA group) was 69 so I made up a full set of loads, went out to test them and the grouping went out to 2MOA. I'm firing from a bipod and usingsandbags so not sure what could be throwing the shots off from my end.

    My speeds from the 5 shots using 69 grains were 2969, 2962, 2930, 3030, 2969 so on average ~ 2972fps.

    Any suggestions out there?
